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 using the following ISCLI configuration command:
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
) cannot be converted and must be deleted before it can be used for a
distributed VM group.
Assigning Members
VMs, ports, and trunks may be added to the distributed VM group only after the VM profile is
assigned. Group members are added, pre-provisioned, or removed from distributed VM groups in
the same manner as with local VM groups (
), with the following
exceptions:
VMs: VMs and other VEs are not required to be local. Any VE known by the virtualization
management server can be part of a distributed VM group.
The VM group
vlan
option (see

distributed VM groups, the VLAN is assigned in the VM profile.
