at
* some Service-Profiles
did UCS-Manager
* double each VIF
so we have
* 2x VIFs per configured vNIC or vHBA
... causing 50% of those VIFs to be (of course) "down" since the OS doesn't detect and initialize them...
Did anybody (no match at Bug-Toolkit for my searches at least) experience this behaviour before?

3 from ~20 Service-Profiles (all SPs bound to the same SP-Template) are affected:
* all other SPs list their vNICs only once as expected
...better ideas than
(a) placing hosts in ESXi-maintenance mode and
(b) un- and re-assign SP-to-Blade?
