Virtual Switch (vsw) Section

This section describes any virtual switches (vsws) allocated to the primary domain.

<Section xsi:type="ovf:VirtualHardwareSection_Type">

Where:

• The <rasd:Address> tag describes the MAC address to be used for the virtual switch. If the value of this tag is auto-allocated, you do not need to supply a MAC address.

• The XML key property service_name is the name of the virtual switch; in this case, primary-vsw0.

• The XML key property dev_path is the path name for the actual network device; in this case net-dev=nxge.

• The XML key property mode indicates sc for SunCluster heartbeat support.

Some of the values in this section are default values, such as the default-vlan-id (1) and pvid (1), so the section is equivalent to the following CLI command:

# ldm add-vswitch net-dev=nxge primary-vsw0 primary
