vCenter Scans
Once
the
vCenter
is
assigned,
the
switch
will
periodically
scan
the
vCenter
to
collect
basic
information
about
all
the
VEs
in
the
datacenter,
and
more
detailed
information
about
the
local
VEs
that
the
switch
has
discovered
attached
to
its
own
ports.
The
switch
completes
a
vCenter
scan
approximately
every
two
minutes.
Any
major
changes
made
through
the
vCenter
may
take
up
to
two
minutes
to
be
reflected
on
the
switch.
However,
you
can
force
an
immediate
scan
of
the
vCenter
by
using
one
of
the
following
ISCLI
privileged
EXEC
commands:
Deleting the vCenter
To
detach
the
vCenter
from
the
switch,
use
the
following
configuration
command:
Note:
Without
a
valid
vCenter
assigned
on
the
switch,
any
VE
configuration
changes
must
be
manually
synchronized.
Deleting
the
assigned
vCenter
prevents
synchronizing
the
configuration
between
the
CN4093
and
VEs.
VEs
already
operating
in
distributed
VM
groups
will
continue
to
function
as
configured,
but
any
changes
made
to
any
VM
profile
or
distributed
VM
group
on
the
switch
will
affect
only
switch
operation;
changes
on
the
switch
will
not
be
reflected
in
the
vCenter
or
on
the
VEs.
Likewise,
any
changes
made
to
VE
configuration
on
the
vCenter
will
no
longer
be
reflected
on
the
switch.
Exporting Profiles
VM
profiles
for
discovered
VEs
in
distributed
VM
groups
are
automatically
synchronized
with
the
virtual
management
server
and
the
appropriate
hypervisors.
However,
VM
profiles
can
also
be
manually
exported
to
specific
hosts
before
individual
VEs
are
defined
on
them.
By
exporting
VM
profiles
to
a
specific
host,
BNT
port
groups
will
be
available
to
the
host’s
internal
virtual
switches
so
that
new
VMs
may
be
configured
to
use
them.
VM
migration
requires
that
the
target
hypervisor
includes
all
the
virtual
switch
port
groups
to
which
the
VM
connects
on
the
source
hypervisor.
The
VM
profile
export
feature
can
be
used
to
distribute
the
associated
port
groups
to
all
the
potential
hosts
for
a
given
VM.
A
VM
profile
can
be
exported
to
a
host
using
the
following
ISCLI
privileged
EXEC
command:
CN 4093#
virt vmware scan
(Scan
the
vCenter)
‐
or
‐
CN 4093#
show virt vm -v -r
(Scan
vCenter
and
display
result)
CN 4093(config)#
no virt vmware vcspec
CN 4093#
virt vmware export
<VM
profile
name>
<host
list>
<virtual
switch
name>
