Configuring VM-ID
VM storage I/O activity automatically generates VM-ID tagging in FC frames.
VM-ID tags I/O frames with an ID that identifies the virtual machine that sent or
received them. This ID allows management applications to monitor traffic flows
down to the virtual machine level. VM-ID is disabled by default and requires a
switch running FOS version 8.1.0a or later on Brocade switches. For detailed
VM-ID information, see the documentation for your switch.
 To enable VM-ID (and disable QoS), issue the following command and then
reboot the system:
$ esxcfg-module -s "ql2xvmidsupport=1,
ql2xfabricpriorityqos=0" qlnativefc
 To disable VM-ID, issue the following command, and then reboot the
system:
$ esxcfg-module -s "ql2xvmidsupport=0" qlnativefc
For details about configuring VM-ID, see the User’s Guide: QLogic Fibre Channel
and Converged Network Adapters for VMware ESXi 5.5 and 6.x (SN0154529-00).
