Information About Virtual Machine Tracker

Virtual Machine Tracker (VM Tracker) works together with VMware vCenter and enables you to do the following:

- Identify the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series 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 9000 Series ports accordingly

- Track the additions or deletions of VMs and hosts, and configure VLANs on Cisco Nexus 9000 Series ports accordingly

- Track the state of VMs and dynamically provisions VLANs on the Cisco Nexus 9000 server facing physical ports.

Virtual Machine Tracker and VMware vCenter

VM Tracker synchronizes with VMware vCenter to retrieve the following information:

- The host on which the VMs exist.

- The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series 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.

Chapter 3. Configuring Virtual Machine Tracker

Guidelines and Limitations for VM 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.

Enabling Virtual Machine Tracker

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

Procedure

Command or Action

Purpose

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)#

Procedure

Command or Action

Purpose

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}

Configures remote IP parameters.

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.

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

Compatibility Checking on a VPC Topology

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:
