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 ( " ).
