About Virtual SAN UCS Service Profile Templates
Cisco UCS Director VMware Virtual SAN implementation with UCS servers requires a standard configuration of a UCS service profile template. Cisco UCS Director workflows use the template to create service profiles with Virtual SAN specific configurations. You must make sure that the template follows the guidelines listed below.

When creating a Virtual SAN UCS service profile template, the template should not be associated with any server pool. You can select the Assign Later option in the server pool template, to assign the server pool to the Virtual SAN service profile. |
