Network:
Create an Integrity VM virtual machine logical server using Accelerated Virtual I/O (AVIO)
network devices. The Integrity VM Host administrator must create all required virtual
switches that will be used by Integrity VM guests before managing the Integrity VM Host.
◦
◦
The vSwitch name can be a maximum of 8 characters. (This restriction is important if you
intend to manage Integrity VM logical servers and cross-technology logical servers [ESX
virtual machine and Virtual Connect logical servers], because, for cross-technology logical
servers, at least one network in the Virtual Connect domain group must be named
identically to a vSwitch on the ESX Host.)
