The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Information About Virtual Machine Tracker
VM Tracker has the following guidelines and limitations:
show commands with the internal keyword are not supported.
VM Tracker supports up to four vCenter connections.
VM Tracker supports high availability and the fault tolerance features of vCenter.
VM Tracker is only supported on ESXi 5.0, 5.1, and 5.5 versions of VMware vCenter.
You must connect a host directly to the port of a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switch. Host connectivity through fabric interconnect, another switch, or chassis is not supported.
![]() Note | Connecting a host through a fabric extender (FEX) is supported by a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switch. |
By default, the VM Tracker feature is enabled on all interfaces.
Command or Action | Purpose |
---|
This example shows how to enable VM Tracker:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# feature vmtracker switch(config)#
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
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
On a VPC topology, VM Tracker performs a Type 2 compatibility checking. The checking ensures that for a particular connection name, the following fields match across the VPC peers:
The vCenter IP address that VM Tracker should connect to.
The vCenter port number that VM Tracker should connect on.
The allowed VLAN range for that particular connection.
The username/password combination that VM Tracker should use to connect to the vCenter Server.
To determine if the VPC checking was successful, use the show vpc consistency-parameters global command.
To ensure that the VM Tracker compatibility checking was successful, use the show system internal vmtracker info vpc-sync-config command. This command provides information about consistency parameter checking.
The following is an example of VPC checking:
switch# show vpc consistency-parameters global Legend: Type 1 : vPC will be suspended in case of mismatch Name Type Local Value Peer Value ------------- ---- ---------------------- ----------------------- Vlan to Vn-segment Map 1 No Relevant Maps No Relevant Maps STP Mode 1 Rapid-PVST Rapid-PVST STP Disabled 1 None None STP MST Region Name 1 "" "" STP MST Region Revision 1 0 0 STP MST Region Instance to 1 VLAN Mapping STP Loopguard 1 Disabled Disabled STP Bridge Assurance 1 Enabled Enabled STP Port Type, Edge 1 Normal, Disabled, Normal, Disabled, BPDUFilter, Edge BPDUGuard Disabled Disabled STP MST Simulate PVST 1 Enabled Enabled Interface-vlan admin up 2 1-8 1-8 Interface-vlan routing 2 1-8 1-8 capability vmtracker connection 2 conn1, 10.193.174.215, conn1, 10.193.174.215, params 80, 1-4094 80, 1-4094 Allowed VLANs - 1-100 1-100 Local suspended VLANs - - - switch#
The following is an example of VM Tracker compatibility:
switch# show system internal vmtracker info vpc-sync-config ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conn Name Conn IP Conn Port Allowed Vlan-Range ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ conn1 10.193.174.215 80 1-4094 switch#
Use the following commands to display and verify VM Tracker configuration information:
When VM Tracker is enabled by using the [no] feature vmtracker command, it is enabled on all interfaces by default. You can optionally disable and enable it on specific interfaces by using the [no] vmtracker enable command.
This example shows how to enable VM Tracker on a specified interface:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/3/1 switch(config-if)# vmtracker enable
Configuring 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.
Ensure that the VM Tracker feature is enabled.
This example shows how to enable dynamic VLAN creation:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# vmtracker connection conn1 switch(config-vmt-conn)# autovlan enable
By default, all VLANs can be configured dynamically on interfaces. You can also define a restricted list of such VLANs.
Ensure that the VM Tracker feature is enabled.
This example shows how to configure a list of allowed VLANs:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# vmtracker connection test switch(config-vmt-conn)# allowed-vlans 100-101
This example uses the show system internal vmtracker info detail command to display VM Tracker information.
