When the configuration for a distributed VM group is modified, the switch
updates the assigned virtualization management server. The management server
then distributes changes to the appropriate hypervisors.
For VM membership changes, hypervisors modify their internal virtual switch
port groups, adding or removing server port memberships to enforce the
boundaries defined by the distributed VM groups. Virtual switch port groups
created in this fashion can be identified in the virtual management server by the
name of the VM profile, formatted as follows:
Lenovo_<VM profile name>
(or)
Lenovo_<VM profile name> <index number>
Adding a server host interface to a distributed VM group does not create a new
port group on the virtual switch or move the host. Instead, because the host
interface already has its own virtual switch port group on the hypervisor, the VM
profile settings are applied to its existing port group.
Note: When applying the distributed VM group configuration, the virtualization
management server and associated hypervisors must take appropriate actions. If a
hypervisor is unable to make requested changes, an error message will be
displayed on the switch. Be sure to evaluate all error message and take the
appropriate actions for the expected changes to apply.
Removing a VE from a distributed VM group on the switch will have the following
effects on the hypervisor:
 The VE will be moved to the Lenovo_Default port group in VLAN 0 (zero).
 Traffic shaping will be disabled for the VE.
 All other properties will be reset to default values inherited from the virtual
switch.
