Virtual Machine Group Settings
Use this window to configure VM Group settings. 
VSE SmartConnect software VMready can identify ESX Service Console interfaces connected 
to internal ports. The Virtual Switch Group Information window displays an asterisk ( * ) in 
the IP Address field for ESX Service Console entries.
VMready identifies Service Consoles by listening to heartbeat communication packets period-
ically transmitted by the Service Consoles to the VMware Virtual Center. If the default values 
used for the heartbeat communication are changed in the VMware environment of a data cen-
ter, use this window to set a new heartbeat port.
