Caveats
The following sections cover specific issues of which you must be aware when
configuring virtual I/O resources for ESX servers.
Set Local ID for Resources on Down or
Unattached Server Profiles
You must explicitly set the local-id on vNICs and vHBAs that are added to an
unattached or administratively down server profile. local-id will be set
automatically on resources that are added to an active server profile only.
Example:
Resources added to down or unconnected server-profiles without the local-id set
will remain in the resourceUnavailable state, and must be removed and re-
added.
NIC Teaming and Load Balancing
If you are using NIC teaming on a vSwitch, be aware that only one load balancing
policy is supported on the ESX server. The only supported load balancing policy on
ESX server is “Route based on the originating virtual port ID,” which is the default
option. None of the other load balancing policies are supported.
add server-profile server1
add vnic vnic1.server1 1/1 -local-id=1
add vhba vmhba34.server1 1/1 -local-id=3
set server-profile server1 connect foo@iowa:ServerPort1
