DescriptionName
The fabric interconnect associated with the component.
If you want vNICs created from this template to be able to access the
second fabric interconnect if the default one is unavailable, check the
Enable Failover check box.
Do not enable vNIC fabric failover under the following
circumstances:
Note
• If the Cisco UCS domain is running in Ethernet Switch
Mode. vNIC fabric failover is not supported in that
mode. If all Ethernet uplinks on one fabric interconnect
fail, the vNICs do not fail over to the other.
• if you plan to associate one or more vNICs created from
this template with a server that has an adapter which
does not support fabric failover, such as the Cisco UCS
82598KR-CI 10-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. If you do
so, Cisco UCS Manager generates a configuration fault
when you associate the service profile with the server.
• If the Cisco UCS domain is running in Ethernet Switch
Mode. vNIC fabric failover is not supported in that
mode. If all Ethernet uplinks on one fabric interconnect
fail, the vNICs do not fail over to the other.
• if you plan to associate this vNIC configuration with a
server that has an adapter which does not support fabric
failover, such as the Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI
10-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. If you do so, Cisco UCS
Manager generates a configuration fault when you
associate the service profile with the server.
Fabric ID field
A list of the possible targets for vNICs created from this template.
The target you choose determines whether or not Cisco UCS Manager
automatically creates a VM-FEX port profile with the appropriate
settings for the vNIC template. This can be one of the following:
• Adapter—The vNICs apply to all adapters. No VM-FEX port
profile is created if you choose this option.
• VM—The vNICs apply to all virtual machines. A VM-FEX
port profile is created if you choose this option.
Target list box
This can be one of the following:
• Initial Template—vNICs created from this template are not
updated if the template changes.
• Updating Template—vNICs created from this template are
updated if the template changes.
