Topology 1.) Identify Service Profile 2.) Storage No local storage has been selected you could choose RAID0 or RAID 5 this was what we configured perviously as part of the server hardware capabilities Next, click expert mode This is what it should look like in the end You would know create vHBA2 for FI-B and the final result is as follows 3.) Networking (Create VNIC's 1 and 2 for the vmKernel) Create VNIC1 (FAB-A) for VMKernel MAC Address Pool UCS-1-ESXi, VLAN Default (native) 110-115, and Adapter policy VMWare Create VNIC2 (FAB-B) for VMKernel MAC Address Pool UCS-1-ESXi, VLAN Default (native) 110-115, and Adapter policy VMWare Create VNIC3 (FAB-A) for VMotion MAC Address Pool UCS-1-ESXi, VLAN 115, and Adapter policy VMWare Create VNIC4 (FAB-B) for VMotion MAC Address Pool UCS-1-ESXi, VLAN 115, and Adapter policy VMWare Create VNIC5 (FAB-A) For VMWare hosts MAC Address Pool UCS-1-ESXi, VLANS 110-114, and Adapter policy VMWare Create VNIC6 (FAB-B) For VMWare hosts AC Address Pool UCS-1-ESXi, VLANS 110-114, and Adapter policy VMWare You could create VNIC 7 and 8 for NFS Data Stores as well 4.) vNIC/vHBA Placement This is going to be dependent on the Server OS that will reside on the blade server itself. VMWare doesn't really matter what order, but for Windows Servers you should pay particular attention to the order of the vNIC's and vHBA's 5.) Create Boot Policy Create vHBA2 for the secondary Create another Boot Target secondary under vHBA2 (DISK or LUN pWWN) to boot from. Final configuration should look as follows Finally pick the Boot Order Policy you just created and click next 6.) Maintenance Policy 7.) Server Assignments 8.) Operational Policies Choose the Pooled option And Click Finish You'll see the final Configuration to make sure it's correct and then click Yes You'll see the FSM is associating the Service Profile to the blades from that server pools |
