Creating a VMMAP File

Use a text editor to create a VMMAP file. VMMAP file entries must use the following XML format:

<VMLIST>
    <VM>
        <MAC>00:00:00:00:00:21</MAC>
        <NAME>network_vm1</NAME>
        <IPV4>10.10.10.10</IPV4>
        <VPP>nvpp1</VPP>
    </VM>
    <VM>
        <MAC>00:00:00:00:00:22</MAC>
        <NAME>network_vm2</NAME>
        <IPV4>20.20.20.20</IPV4>
        <VPP>nvpp2</VPP>
    </VM>
</VMLIST>

When creating VMMAP file entries, use the following guidelines:

The VPP file supports up to 400 child nodes.
The MAC address is required.
If you do not want to specify a VM name, specify none.
If you do not want to specify an IP address, specify 0.0.0.0.
If you do not want to specify a VPP name, specify none.
If a value such as the VM name contains any space characters, the entire value must be specified between double quotation marks ( " ).

For information on where to place the VMMAP file, see Selecting the Repository Server Directory.
