Chapter 13: VMready

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.

Because VM groups are isolated from vNIC groups (see 

), 

pre-provisioned VEs that appear on vNIC ports will not be added to the specified VM group upon 
discovery.
