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 <VM group number> ?
key <LACP trunk key> (Add LACP trunk to group)
port <port alias or number> (Add port member to group)
portchannel <trunk group number> (Add static trunk to group)
profile <profile name> (Not used for local groups)
stg <Spanning Tree group> (Add STG to group)
tag (Set VLAN tagging on ports)
vlan <VLAN number> (Specify the group VLAN)
vm <MAC> | <index> | <UUID> | <IPv4 address> | <name> (Add VM member to group)
vmap <VMAP number> [intports|extports] (Specify VMAP number)
