vCenter Scans
Deleting the vCenter
354
G8264 Application Guide for ENOS 8.4
Once the vCenter is assigned, the switch will periodically scan the vCenter to
collect basic information about all the VEs in the datacenter, and more detailed
information about the local VEs that the switch has discovered attached to its own
ports.
The switch completes a vCenter scan approximately every two minutes. Any major
changes made through the vCenter may take up to two minutes to be reflected on
the switch. However, you can force an immediate scan of the vCenter by using one
of the following ISCLI privileged EXEC commands:
RS G8264# virt vmware scan
‐or‐
RS G8264# show virt vm v r
To detach the vCenter from the switch, use the following configuration command:
RS G8264(config)# no virt vmware vcspec
Note: Without a valid vCenter assigned on the switch, any VE configuration
changes must be manually synchronized.
Deleting the assigned vCenter prevents synchronizing the configuration between
the G8264 and VEs. VEs already operating in distributed VM groups will continue
to function as configured, but any changes made to any VM profile or distributed
VM group on the switch will affect only switch operation; changes on the switch
will not be reflected in the vCenter or on the VEs. Likewise, any changes made to
VE configuration on the vCenter will no longer be reflected on the switch.
