Adding vNIC to existing Service Profile Template for UCS

[brandon.keep]

Hi,

I would like to add a vNIC to an existing updating service profile. It is not entirely clear to me if it will require an immediate reboot of the associated servers or if the reboot can happen at a later time? Any help is appreciated.

FI model: 6120

FW version 2.2(3d)

Regards,

Brandon

Hi Brandon

Adding (or removing) vnic's requires a reboot of the blade, due to reprogramming of the I/O adaptor. I hope you have setup a maintenance policy with ACK, and linked it to the template. If not, just do it before adding the vnic's; this is non disruptive.

Then you are ok; you have to ack the reboot for every blade.

Thanks for the reply. The maintenance policy is set to ack for reboot so I should be good to go. I will be making the change to add the vNICs next week during a scheduled maintenance windows just in case.
