Global vHBAs can be used in local service profiles created in Cisco UCS Manager.

    Step 1   In the Task bar, type Create vHBA Template and press Enter.

    This launches the Create vHBA Template dialog box.

    2. Select the options for Type, Fabric ID, and enter Max Data Field Size(Bytes).
    Step 3   Click WWN Address Pool and select the WWN addresses.

    If you do not assign a WWN address pool, the system assigns the default.

    Step 4   Click vSANs and add the vSANs you want to use for this vHBA template.
    Step 5   Click Policies .

    If the policies are not assigned, click on each of the policies and pin group. On the right, click the drop-down to display related policies and pin group and select the one you want for this vHBA template.

    Step 6   Click Create.

    Host Interface Placement Policy

    The host interface placement policy enables you to determine the user-specified virtual network interface connection (vCon) placement for vNICs and vHBAs.

    To create a host interface placement policy, see Creating or Editing a Host Interface Placement Policy. Details for existing policies are displayed on the Host Interface Placement Policy page.

    Creating or Editing a Host Interface Placement Policy

      Step 1   In the Task bar, type Create Host Interface Placement Policy and press Enter.

      This launches the Create Host Interface Placement Policy dialog box.

      Step 2   Click Organization and select the location in which you want to create the policy.
      Step 3   Enter a Name and optional Description.

      The policy name is case sensitive.

      Step 4   Select the Virtual Slot Mapping Scheme.

      This can be one of the following:

      Step 5   Select the Virtual Slot Selection Preference for each virtual slot.

      This can be one of the following:

      • all—All configured vNICs and vHBAs can be assigned. This is the default.

      • assigned-only—vNICs and vHBAs must be explicitly assigned.

      • exclude-dynamic—Dynamic vNICs and vHBAs cannot be assigned.

      • exclude-unassigned—Unassigned vNICs and vHBAs cannot be assigned.

      • exclude-usnic—usNIC vNICs cannot be assigned.
