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.

Page 5: Setting the Server Boot Order
This procedure directly follows Page 4: Setting the vNIC/vHBA Placement, on page 502. It describes how to
set the server boot order options on the Server Boot Order page of the Create Service Profile (expert)
wizard.
We recommend that the boot order in a boot policy include either a local disk or a SAN LUN, but not
both, to avoid the possibility of the server booting from the wrong storage type. If you configure a local
disk and a SAN LUN for the boot order storage type and the operating system or logical volume manager
(LVM) is configured incorrectly, the server might boot from the local disk rather than the SAN LUN.
For example, on a server with Red Hat Linux installed, where the LVM is configured with default LV
names and the boot order is configured with a SAN LUN and a local disk, Linux reports that there are
two LVs with the same name and boots from the LV with the lowest SCSI ID, which could be the local
disk.
