Pre-Provisioning VEs
VEs may be manually added to VM groups in advance of being detected on the switch ports. By
pre-provisioning the MAC address of VEs that are not yet active, the switch will be able to later
recognize the VE when it becomes active on a switch port, and immediately assign the proper VM
group properties without further configuration.
Undiscovered VEs are added to or removed from VM groups using the following configuration
commands:
For the pre-provisioning of undiscovered VEs, a MAC address is required. Other identifying
properties, such as IPv4 address or VM name permitted for known VEs, cannot be used for
pre-provisioning.
Note – Because VM groups are isolated from vNIC groups (see “vNIC Groups” on page 157 ),
pre-provisioned VEs that appear on vNIC ports will not be added to the specified VM group upon
discovery.
