Procedure
Step 1
From the Select Placement drop-down list, choose one of the following:
DescriptionOption
Specifies that Cisco UCS Manager determines the vNIC/vHBA placement for all
servers associated with a service profile created from this template. The placement
is determined by the order set in the PCI Order table.

option.
If you are configuring this service profile for iSCSI boot, continue with Step 5.
For all configurations, continue with Step 2.

Placement
Enables you to do the following:
• Explicitly assign the vNICs and vHBAs associated with this service profile
template to a virtual network interface connection (vCon).
• Configure the types of vNICs and vHBAs that can be assigned to a vCon,
either manually or through a vNIC/vHBA placement policy.
Continue with Step 3.
Specify Manually
Assigns an existing vNIC/vHBA placement policy to a service profile created
from this template. If you choose this option, Cisco UCS Manager displays the
details of the policy.
If a vNIC/vHBA placement policy has not been configured in Cisco UCS Manager,
this option may not display in the drop-down list.
If you do not want use any of the existing policies, but instead want to create a
policy that all service profiles and templates can access, click Create Placement
Policy and continue with Step 4. Otherwise, continue with Step 5.
