RackSwitch G8000: Application Guide
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.
