Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To specify a port mode and a resource template for a VS, run the port-mode command.

A resource template is a collection of resource items.

Configuration Impact

The port allocation mode determines the granularity of interfaces allocated to VSs and the range of resources allocated to VSs.

All VSs in port mode share resources in a resource pool in port mode.

For details about the resource usage of each resource pool, see the display virtual-system resource command.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the assign resource-template command to modify the resource template associated with the VS.
Run the assign resource command to modify the specification of a specified VS resource item.

Precautions

After you create a VS, you must first configure a port mode. If you do not first configure a port mode, you cannot:

Configure resources for the VS, including interface and logical resources.
Switch from the Admin-VS to the VS.
Log in to the VS using Telnet or SSH.
Restart or shut down the VS.A port mode determines the scope of resources assigned to a VS. If you do not specify a resource template for a VS, the VS uses the default resources.

You cannot modify or delete the port mode that has been configured for a VS.

This command can be used only on VSs that are independently managed but not on VSs that are uniformly managed. The PAF determines whether a VS is managed in independent or uniform mode.

Example

# Specify a port mode for a VS.
