Local VM Groups
The configuration for local VM groups is maintained on the switch (locally) and is not directly
synchronized with hypervisors. Local VM groups may include only local elements: local switch
ports and trunks, and only those VEs connected to one of the switch ports or pre-provisioned on the
switch. Of the 2048 VEs supported on the switch, up to 500 VEs may be used in local groups.
Local VM groups support limited VE migration: as VMs and other VEs move to different
hypervisors connected to different ports on the switch, the configuration of their group identity and
features moves with them. However, VE migration to and from more distant hypervisors (those not
connected to the G8124, may require manual configuration when using local VM groups.
Configuring a Local VM Group
Use the following ISCLI configuration commands to assign group properties and membership:
RS G8124(config)# virt vmgroup ?
key (Add LACP trunk to group)
port (Add port member to group)
portchannel (Add static trunk to group)
profile (Not used for local groups)
stg (Add STG to group)
tag (Set VLAN tagging on ports)
vlan (Specify the group VLAN)
vm | | | | (Add VM member to group)
vmap [intports|extports] (Specify VMAP number)
