© Copyright Lenovo 2016 Chapter 20: VMready 355Exporting ProfilesVM profiles for discovered VEs in distributed VM groups are automaticallysynchronized with the virtual management server and the appropriatehypervisors. However, VM profiles can also be manually exported to specific hostsbefore individual VEs are defined on them.By exporting VM profiles to a specific host, virtual machine port groups will beavailable to the host’s internal virtual switches so that new VMs may be configuredto use them.VM migration requires that the target hypervisor includes all the virtual switchport groups to which the VM connects on the source hypervisor. The VM profileexport feature can be used to distribute the associated port groups to all thepotential hosts for a given VM.A VM profile can be exported to a host using the following ISCLI privileged EXECcommand:The host list can include one or more target hosts, specified by host name, IPv4address, or UUID, with each list item separated by a space.Once executed, the requisite port group will be created on the specified virtualswitch. If the specified virtual switch does not exist on the target host, the portgroup will not be created.VMware Operational CommandsThe G8264 may be used as a central point of configuration for VMware virtualswitches and port groups using the following ISCLI privileged EXEC commands:RS G8264# virt vmware export profile name> list> switch name>RS G8264# virt vmware ?dpg Distributed port group operationsdvswitch VMWare dvSwitch operationsexport Create or update a vm profile on one hostpg Add a port group to a hostscan Perform a VM Agent scan operation nowupdpg Update a port group on a hostvmacpg Change a vnic's port groupvsw Add a vswitch to a host
