Multiple VMs cannot use the same sideband port, but they can share the management port. To view ports for an existing VM, use the command show vm {vm_name | detail}.
This command does not take effect until the next time the guest VM is started.
The Extreme Insight feature requires the Solid State Storage Device SSD-120.
The following example adds port 1–5 to VM "vm1":
# configure vm vm1 add ports 1-5
