c) In the Fabric Interconnect area, complete the following fields:
DescriptionName
The fabric interconnect associated with the component.
If you want this vNIC to be able to access the second fabric
interconnect if the default one is unavailable, check the Enable
Failover check box.
Do not enable fabric failover for the vNIC 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 this vNIC 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.
