Information About Virtual Machine Tracker

The growing adoption of server virtualization technologies has added to network configuration requirements. Virtual Machines (VMs) on a single physical server can belong to different Layer 2 domains and can require the Cisco Nexus device to provision multiple VLANs on the ports that connect to the physical servers. To provide seamless movement of VMs from one physical server to another, the servers must be reachable through the same Layer 2 domain so that the VMs can retain their IP addresses and network connectivity even after moving. A static predefined configuration requires provisioning of all possible VLANs that can be used by VMs in a server management domain on each port of the switch. This process can result in more logical port-based VLANs than the switch can support. Alternatively, you can dynamically provision VLANs on a Cisco Nexus device Layer 2 Ethernet or Layer 2 port-channel interface (attached to a server) based on the tracking of the VMs that are connected to the port and the VLAN requirements of these VMs.

Virtual Machine Tracker (VM Tracker) enables you to do the following:

- Identify the Cisco Nexus device port that is used for each VM

- Identify the VLAN requirements of each VM

- Track the movement of VMs from one host (ESXi) to another

- Track VM configuration changes such as additions, deletions, or modifications of VLANs, and configure VLANs on Cisco Nexus device ports accordingly

- Track the additions or deletions of VMs and hosts, and configure VLANs on Cisco Nexus device ports accordingly

- Track whether the VMs are in the power on or power off state, and configure VLANs on local Cisco Nexus device ports for a VM only if the VM is in the power on state

Virtual Machine Tracker and VMware vCenter

VM Tracker connects with VMware vCenter and collects information about the VMs that are connected to each host. This information includes the number of VMs that are running on connected to the host and the Cisco Nexus device port through which the VM receives network traffic.

After you enable VM Tracker on the switch, it automatically extracts the following information about VMs from vCenter:

- The host on which the VMs exist.

- The Cisco Nexus device ports through which the VM traffic flows.

- The virtual network interface card (vNIC) that connects the VM to a virtual switch.

- The power state of the VM.

- The VLAN information of port groups or distributed virtual switch (DVS) port groups.

- The port groups or DVS port groups that are required for the VM.

Guidelines and Limitations for VM Tracker

VM Tracker has the following guidelines and limitations:

- VM Tracker supports up to four vCenter connections.

- VM Tracker supports high availability and the fault tolerance features of vCenter.

- VM Tracker supports up to 64 VMs per host.

- VM Tracker supports up to 350 hosts across all vCenters.

- VM Tracker supports up to 600 VLANs.

- VM Tracker supports only 507 VLANs in Per VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST) mode due to hardware limitations. To enable more than 507 VLANs, use Multiple Spanning Tree (MST).

- The current version of VM Tracker is supported only on ESXi 5.1 and ESXi 5.5 on Windows and Linux.

- The current version of VM Tracker supports only VMware orchestration. It does not support orchestration with other hypervisors.

- For all ports on which VM Tracker is enabled, you must not perform any Layer 2 or Layer 3 configuration that is related to switchports and VLANs. However, you can update the native VLAN.

- VM Tracker does not support VLAN 4095.

- VM Tracker is not supported on the virtual port channel (vPC) switch although it can be configured on the downstream switch on the vPC setup.

- You must connect the host directly to the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series ports. Host connectivity through the IOM, fabric extender (FEX), or chassis is not supported.

- If you do not specify the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) while configuring the remote IP address, the management VRF is used.

- If you do not configure a VLAN as a native VLAN on the interface, VM Tracker cannot remove this VLAN and disable VM Tracker.

- For vCenter version 5.1 and 5.5, the CDP information can contain a maximum of 32 characters for the name of the switch. If the name of the switch exceeds 32 characters, VM Tracker will not work.

Enabling Virtual Machine Tracker

By default, the VM Tracker feature is enabled on all interfaces.

Procedure

Step 1

switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

switch(config)# [no] feature vmtracker

Enables the VM Tracker feature on all interfaces.

The no form of the command disables the VM Tracker feature on all interfaces.

This example shows how to enable VM Tracker:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# feature vmtracker
switch(config)#

Creating a New Connection to vCenter

Procedure

Step 1

switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

switch(config)# [no] vmtracker connection connection-name

Enters VM Tracker connection configuration mode for the connection name specified.

The no form of the command disables the connection.

Step 3

switch(config-vmt-conn)# [no] remote {ip address ip_address | port port_number | vrf vrf_name}

Configures remote IP parameters.

The default value for port_number is 80. If vrf_name is not specified, the default value is management .

Step 4

switch(config-vmt-conn)# username username password password

Verifies the username and password to connect to vCenter.

Step 5

switch(config-vmt-conn)# [no] connect

Connects to vCenter.

The no form of the command disconnects VM Tracker from vCenter.

Example

This example shows how to create a new connection to VMware vCenter:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# vmtracker connection conn1
switch(config-vmt-conn)# remote ip address 20.1.1.1 port 80 vrf management
switch(config-vmt-conn)# username user1 password abc1234
switch(config-vmt-conn)# connect

Synchronizing Information with VMware vCenter

By default, VM Tracker tracks all asynchronous events from VMware vCenter and updates the switchport configuration immediately. Optionally, you can also configure a synchronizing mechanism that synchronizes all host, VM, and port group information automatically with VMware vCenter at a specified interval.

Command

Purpose

[no] set interval find-new-host val

Sets the interval, in seconds, for finding hosts that are newly connected to vCenter. The no form of the command disables the previously configured interval.

The default duration is 3600 seconds.

[no] set interval sync-full-info val

Sets the interval, in seconds, for synchronizing all host, VM, and port group related information with vCenter. The no form of the command disables the previously configured interval.

The default duration is 3600 seconds.

vmtracker connection connection-name refresh

Synchronizes all host, VM, and port group related information with vCenter immediately for the specified connection.

- This example shows how to set an interval for finding hosts that are newly connected to vCenter:

switch(config-vmt-conn)# set interval find-new-host 300

- This example shows how to set an interval for synchronizing all host, VM, and port group information with vCenter:

switch(config-vmt-conn)# set interval sync-full-info 120

- This example shows how to immediately synchronize all host, VM, and port group information with vCenter:

switch(config-vmt-conn)# vmtracker connection conn1 refresh

Verifying the Virtual Machine Tracker Configuration

Use the following commands to display and verify VM Tracker configuration information:

Command

Purpose

show running-config vmtracker [all ]

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/3/1
switch(config-if)# vmtracker enable

Enabling Dynamic VLAN Creation

Dynamic creation and deletion of VLANs globally is enabled by default. When dynamic VLAN creation is enabled, if a VM is moved from one host to another and the VLAN required for this VM does not exist on the switch, the required VLAN is automatically created on the switch. You can also disable this capability. However, if you disable dynamic VLAN creation, you must manually create all the required VLANs.

Before you begin

Ensure that the VM Tracker feature is enabled.

Procedure

Step 1

switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

switch(config)# vmtracker connection connection-name

Enters VM Tracker connection configuration mode for the connection name specified.

Step 3

switch(config-vmt-conn)# [no] autovlan enable

Enables dynamic VLAN creation and deletion.

The no form of the command disables dynamic VLAN creation and deletion.

This example shows how to enable dynamic VLAN creation:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# vmtracker connection conn1
switch(config-vmt-conn)# autovlan enable

Configuring an Allowed VLAN List

By default, all VLANs can be configured dynamically on interfaces. You can also define a restricted list of such VLANs.

Before you begin

Ensure that the VM Tracker feature is enabled.

Procedure

Step 1

switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

switch(config)# vmtracker connection connection-name
