CN4093 Application Guide for N/OS 8.4
The following restriction applies to vNICs:
 vNICs are not supported simultaneously with VM groups (see “VMready” on
page 279 ) on the same switch ports.
By default, vNICs are disabled. The administrator can enable vNICs and configure
vNIC features on the switch using the standard management options such as the
Enterprise NOS CLI, the ISCLI, and the Browser ‐ based Interface (BBI).
To enable the vNIC feature on the switch, use the following command on the vNIC
Configuration Menu:
Note:
The Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter for Lenovo Flex System can also operate
in Physical NIC (PNIC) mode, in which case vNIC features are non ‐ applicable.
vNIC IDs on the Switch
Enterprise NOS 8.4 supports up to four vNICs attached to each internal switch
port. Each vNIC is provided its own independent virtual pipe on the port.
On stand ‐ alone (non ‐ stacked) switches, each vNIC is identified by port and vNIC
number:
<port number or alias>
.
<vNIC pipe number (1 ‐ 4)>
For example:
INTA1.1, INTA1.2, INTA1.3, and INTA1.4 represent the vNICs on port INTA1.
INTA2.1, INTA2.2, INTA2.3, and INTA2.4 represent the vNICs on port INTA2,
etc.
These vNIC IDs are used when adding vNICs to vNIC groups, and are shown in
some configuration and information displays.
Whenever switches are stacked, the switch
csnum
ID is also required:
<switch csnum>
:
<port number or alias>
.
<vNIC pipe number (1 ‐ 4)>
For example:
2:INTA
2.3
refers to port INTA2, vNIC 3, switch number 2.
Note:
The configuration examples in this chapter depict stand ‐ alone (non ‐ stacked)
port and vNIC designations.
