Hi,
I'm running into an issue when I increase the vNIC qty on my blade servers from 6 to 8 or more vNICs and the placement order is not adhered to.
Basically the first 3 vNICs and the last are in order, from 4 onwards its mixed up........
Right now it stops the NFS datastores from mounting as the NFS nics are associated to a different vSwitch and are some of my other NICs

I have tried the following placement order methods - all with the same results
- Let System Preform Placement
- Specify Manually
- with and without changing the Admin Host Port
- Placement Policy
I'm running an A and B MAC pool (Assignment order = Default) and my A and B vNICs were associated accordingly
I've created a new larger MAC pool and set the Assignment Order to Sequential, changed all the vNIC tempaltes to use the new MAC pool, created a new SP-Template and new SP, asscioated the server - still no success
Ive upgraded firmware from 2.2(3g) to 2.2(5b) - no success
Any ideas?
Cheers
Mike
