Creating a vNIC/vHBA Placement Policy
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Servers tab.
Step 2
On the Servers tab, expand Servers > Policies.
Step 3
Expand the node for the organization where you want to create the policy.
If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.
Step 4
Right-click vNIC/vHBA Placement Policies and choose Create Placement Policy.
Step 5
In the Create Placement Policy dialog box, do the following:
a) In the Name field, enter a unique name for the placement policy.
This name can be between 1 and 16 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special
characters other than - (hyphen), _ (underscore), : (colon), and . (period), and you cannot change this name
after the object has been saved.
b) In the Selection Preference column for each Virtual Slot, choose one of the following from the drop-down
list:
• All—All configured vNICs and vHBAs can be assigned to the vCon, whether they are explicitly
assigned to it, unassigned, or dynamic.
• Assigned Only—vNICs and vHBAs must be explicitly assigned to the vCon. You can assign them
explicitly through the service profile or the properties of the vNIC or vHBA.
• Exclude Dynamic—Dynamic vNICs and vHBAs cannot be assigned to the vCon. The vCon can be
used for all static vNICs and vHBAs, whether they are unassigned or explicitly assigned to it.
• Exclude Unassigned—Unassigned vNICs and vHBAs cannot be assigned to the vCon. The vCon
can be used for dynamic vNICs and vHBAs and for static vNICs and vHBAs that are explicitly
assigned to it.
c) Click OK.
