Blade ICE G8124-E manual VCenter Scans, Deleting the vCenter, G8124# virt vmware scan

BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

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:

RS	G8124# virt vmware scan	(Scan the vCenter)
	-or-
RS	G8124# show virt vm -v-r	(Scan vCenter and display result)

Deleting the vCenter

To detach the vCenter from the switch, use the following configuration command:

RS G8124(config)# no virt vmware vcspec

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 G8124 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.
