BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

VMready Information Displays

The G8124 can be used to display a variety of VMready information.

Note – Some displays depict information collected from scans of a VMware vCenter and may not be available without a valid vCenter. If a vCenter is assigned (see “Assigning a vCenter” on page 172), scan information might not be available for up to two minutes after the switch boots or when VMready is first enabled. Also, any major changes made through the vCenter may take up to two minutes to be reflected on the switch unless you force an immediate vCenter scan (see “vCenter Scans” on page 173.

Local VE Information

A concise list of local VEs and pre-provisioned VEs is available with the following ISCLI privileged EXEC command:
