Virtual Interface Adapter in Service Profile
Configuring the service profile for the Virtual Interface Adapter requires an understanding of how the
software assigns the adapters for the B440−M1:
vNICs and vHBAs are assigned to the Virtual Interface Adapter implicitly by the user or
automatically by UCSM during LS association.
•
During the LS association, the Virtual Interface Adapter is mapped to physical mezzanine cards.
•
vNIC/vHBA Placement
Default placement of vNICs/vHBAs:
If the 2 adapters are present, by default, the B440−M1 adapter assigns vNICs/vHBAs starting from
the slot on the right (slot 1) and equally distributes the total number between the 2 adapters. For
example: If you have 4 vNICs (i.e., 1, 2, 3, and 4), it will assign 1 and 2 on the slot 1 adapter and 3
and 4 on the slot 0 adapter.
•
Specific placement of vNICs/vHBAs:
If more control is needed on how to place a vNIC/vHBA to a specific adapter, you can use the
concept of Virtual Interface Adapter .

Creation of the service profile is not new to Cisco UCS and can be referenced in Configuring Service
Profiles for details on creation.
