nexus 1000v Installtion problem: Can't see the data port group in the vCenter

Hi

I'm trying to install and configure the Nexus1000v.4.0.4.SV1.2 according to the Getting Started guide n1000v_gsg.pdf.

I finished the installation and configuration "almost" successfully. Every thing worked fine, until I wanted to connect a VM vNic to the data20 port group. I noticed that the port group (data20) is not shown in the list of the port groups when I try to connect "Network Adapter 1" to it.

If I switch to the Network view. I see that my nexus configured and have a "data20" network. but It have 0 ports.

Can you please help?

Thanx

Wagde

Hi Abhinav

Can you please tell me what commands should I run in the VSM to get the configuration?

I'm new to cisco nexus 1000v and I'm not familiar with the commands.

Thanx

Wagde,

Here is issue:

You have defined the 'data20' port-profile as an ethernet type profile, which will allow it be be used only for the uplink interface i.e to be applied on the physical ethernet interfaces. For a profile to be used for the VM interfaces it has to be of the type 'vethernet'.

Here is what you can do:

1) On the VSM issue the following command to delete the current data20 port-profile: 'no port-profile data20'

2) Define the port-profile again as: 'port-profile type vethernet data20' and then specify the rest of the configuration.

In the show run it would look something like this:

port-profile type vethernet data20

description "Data"

  vmware port-group

  switchport mode access

  switchport access vlan 20

  no shutdown

  state enabled

Hope this helps!!!

In the getting started guide it's ethernet and not vethernet :-)

I guss it should be fixed.

It's working fine now

Thanx

Hi Wagde,

   Can you please specify which installation guide you are referring to and the section/chapter which has this ambiguity? We will get it corrected.

Thanks,

Hi

I'm referring to the n1000v_gsg.pdf document

Chapter 4

Page 19

In step 2: The data20 port profile type should be vethernet.

Thanx

Wagde
