2. Select the desired server and create the server profile:
3. Verify the profile was created correctly:
No I/O resources (vNICs or vHBAs) have been assigned to the new server
profile. Resources will be assigned to the profile in the following sections (See
“Virtual Network Interface Cards (vNICs)” on page 77 and “Virtual Host Bus
Adapters (vHBAs)” on page 133.)
If the state displays “unassigned”, then the profile is created but not yet assigned
to an actual host server. Use set server-profile <name> connect <phys-
server> for the assignment.
If your server uses dual-port HCAs, do not assign the same server profile to both
ports. Having the same profile assigned to the same server twice can cause
unpredictable behavior.
Default Gateway
Define a default gateway on a server profile to enable IP communication with hosts
on different IP subnets. This feature enables centralized IP address administration
from the Oracle Fabric Interconnect. Given this feature, a default gateway need not
be configured directly on a host.
Note – The default gateway feature is not yet supported for a Windows server 64-
bit platform host. However, a Windows 32-bit host does support the default gateway
feature. Also, due to the current implementation of subnet matching on the Oracle
Fabric Interconnect, the default gateway’s IP subnet must match the subnet of at
least one vNIC configured in the same server profile.
