Initializing a Distributed VM Group

Assigning Members

© Copyright Lenovo 2016
Note: A VM profile is required before a distributed VM group may be configured.
See "VM Profiles" on page
Once a VM profile is available, a distributed VM group may be initialized using the
following configuration command:
RS G8264(config)# virt vmgroup <VM group number> profile <VM profile name>
Only one VM profile can be assigned to a given distributed VM group. To change
the VM profile, the old one must first be removed using the following ISCLI
configuration command:
RS G8264(config)# no virt vmgroup <VM group number> profile
Note: The VM profile can be added only to an empty VM group (one that has no
VLAN, VMs, or port members). Any VM group number currently configured for a
local VM group (see "Local VM Groups" on page
must be deleted before it can be used for a distributed VM group.
VMs, ports, and LAGs may be added to the distributed VM group only after the
VM profile is assigned. Group members are added, pre‐provisioned, or removed
from distributed VM groups in the same manner as with local VM groups ("Local
VM Groups" on page 343), with the following exceptions:
 VMs: VMs and other VEs are not required to be local. Any VE known by the
virtualization management server can be part of a distributed VM group.
 The VM group vlan option (see page
groups. For distributed VM groups, the VLAN is assigned in the VM profile.
