VM Profiles
VMprofilesarerequiredforconfiguringdistributedVMgroups.Theyarenotused
withlocalVMgroups.AVMprofiledefinestheVLANandvirtualswitch
bandwidthshapingcharacteristicsforthedistributedVMgroup.Theswitch
distributesthesesettingstothevirtualizationmanagementserver,whichinturn
distributesthemtothe
appropriatehypervisorsforVEmembersassociatedwith
thegroup.
CreatingVMprofilesisatwopartprocess.First,theVMprofileiscreatedas
showninthefollowingcommandontheswitch:
Next,theprofilemustbeeditedandconfiguredusingthefollowingconfiguration
commands:
Forvirtualswitchbandwidthshapingparameters,average
andpeakbandwidth
arespecifiedinkilobitspersecond(avalueof1000represents1Mbps).Burstsizeis
specifiedinkilobytes(avalueof1000represents1MB).
Note: ThebandwidthshapingparametersintheVMprofileareusedbythe
hypervisorvirtualswitchsoftware.Tosetbandwidthpoliciesforindividual
VEs,
see“VMPolicyBandwidthControl”onpage 292.
Onceconfigured,theVMprofilemaybeassignedtoadistributedVMgroupas
showninthefollowingsection.
Initializing a Distributed VM Group
Note: AVMprofileisrequiredbeforeadistributedVMgroupmaybeconfigured.
See“VMProfiles”onpage 282fordetails.
OnceaVMprofileisavailable,adistributedVMgroupmaybeinitializedusingthe
followingconfigurationcommand:
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.
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 280)
cannotbeconvertedand
mustbedeletedbeforeitcanbeusedforadistributedVMgroup.
