Vmready Configuration Example - Lenovo RackSwitch G8264 Application Manual

VMready Configuration Example

1. Define the server ports.
2. Enable the VMready feature.
3. Specify the VMware vCenter IPv4 address.
4. Create the VM profile.
5. Define the VM group.
6. If necessary, enable VLAN tagging for the VM group:

This example has the following characteristics:
 A VMware vCenter is fully installed and configured prior to VMready configu‐
ration and includes a "bladevm" administration account and a valid SSL certifi‐
cate.
 The distributed VM group model is used.
The VM profile named "Finance" is configured for VLAN 30, and specifies

NIC‐to‐switch bandwidth shaping for 1Mbps average bandwidth, 2MB bursts,
and 3Mbps maximum bandwidth.
The VM group includes four discovered VMs on switch server ports 1 and 2, and

one static LAG (previously configured) that includes switch uplink ports 3 and 4.

RS G8264(config)# virt enable
RS G8264(config)# virt vmware vmware vcspec 172.16.100.1 bladevm
When prompted, enter the user password that the switch must use for access to the
vCenter.

RS G8264(config)# virt vmgroup 1 vm arctic
RS G8264(config)# virt vmgroup 1 vm monster

RS G8264(config)# virt vmgroup 1 vm 00:50:56:4f:f2:00
RS G8264(config)# virt vmgroup 1 portchannel 1
When VMs are added, the server ports on which they appear are automatically
added to the VM group. In this example, there is no need to manually add ports 1
and 2.
Note: VM groups and vNICs (see Chapter
simultaneously on the same switch ports.
RS G8264(config)# virt vmgroup 1 tag
Note: If the VM group contains ports that also exist in other VM groups, make sure
tagging is enabled in both VM groups. In this example configuration, no ports exist
in more than one VM group.
