Chapter 6 Virtual Network Interface Cards (vNICs) 83
Note – Do not select the same slot/port that was assigned to the primary vNIC.
This command set created a high-availability vNIC pair on a single chassis. The
primary vNIC is named haNIC1. The secondary vNIC was created automatically
and named haNIC1S. (Note the “S” appended to the end of the name.) The full
name of the primary vNIC was automatically assigned as the high-availability
group’s name.
▼ Configure Multiple Chassis
This section documents an example of configuring HA across multiple Oracle Fabric
Interconnects.
Note – Be aware that for Windows HA vNICs, the primary vNIC from one chassis
and secondary vNIC from the second chassis must have always same vNIC name
and Server Profile name. The secondary vNIC names are not automatically
generated, so make sure that you use the same vNIC name and Server profile name
when you create multi-chassis HA vNICs for a Windows server.
1. Log into the first Oracle Fabric Interconnect chassis.
a. Create a vNIC.
b. Add a vNIC, called haNIC1, and assign it to a server profile “vserver1”:
add vnic haNIC1.vserver1 6/1 ha 6/3
add vnic haNIC1.vserver1 ?
