Explicitly Assigning a vHBA to a vCon
Before You Begin
Configure the vCons through a vNIC/vHBA placement policy or in the service profile with one of the following
values:
• Assigned Only
• Exclude Dynamic
• Exclude Unassigned
If a vCon is configured for All, you can still explicitly assign a vNIC or vHBA to that vCon. However, you
have less control with this configuration.
