It sounds like you have some VLANs on your vNIC that are not on your Uplinks.

 

Can you please share the VLANs that are on the Network uplinks and what VLANs are configured on your problem vNIC?

If I don't add a VLAN to the Fabric, I will not be able to check it in the vNIC modify vlans window.

I have always do this operation via UCSm \ Lan \ LanCloud \ VLANs

With the options:

Multicast Policy Name: not set

Common/Global

Sharing Type: None

If OK pressed

Your changes:
Create: Network SomeNetwor (org-root/org-org/ls-Server/ether-eth1/if-SomeNetwork)

Will cause a non fatal Configuration Warning for:
Service Profile Server (org-root/org-org/ls-Server) [Server: sys/chassis-1/blade-1]
   Reason: Failed to find any operational uplink port that carries all vlans of the vNIC(s). The vNIC(s) will be shut down which will lead to traffic disruption on all existing VLANs on the vNIC(s).



Are you sure you want to apply the changes?
Press Yes to disregard the warning and submit changes, No to quit the wizard
or Cancel to make changes to the current configuration.

Can you post the configurations from the CLI? The screen captures do not show all the VLANS.

Please connect to Fabric Interconnect CLI from NXOS context and run

UCSM(nxos)#show run interface port-channel X

UCSM(nxos)#show run interface vEth X

The Veth Number for the individual vNICs can be found using this command from non-NXOS context:

UCSM#show service-profile circuit

Really, don't have 716 VLAN on uplink.

Why some VLANs are on the interface and some are not?

How can I add VLAN 716?

Looks like you are using VLAN groups from your screen capture. I would review those and add VLAN to your VLAN group and it should be pushed to the uplink accordingly.

Wes,

I'm really grateful to you! I haven't use VLAN Groups usually. The initial configuration wasn't mine.

Have a nice day!
