F0169 service profile (ESXi host name) failed to apply configuration

[parakiteiz]

I just created a new vNIC on 2 of my new hosts. I created MAC address Pools before I started. As I create the vNIC I got the following error:

Your Changes:

Creates VNIC FTNNIC

Create:Network Fault Tolerance

Will cause a Configuration Failure of:

Service Profile (ESXi host name) org- root-[Server:sys/chassis-2/blade-8)

Failure-Reason: connection-placement

There are not enough resources overall

Not enough vNICS available

Are you sure you want to apply the changes?

I click yes then get F0168 error service profile failed to apply configuration? 

What am I doing wrong here and how do I fix it?

Can you please more information, e.g.

- what kind of blade model, I/O adaptor model

- UCS version

- ESXi version

Parakiteiz,
 

VnicEtherConfig-failed Fault Code:F0169

This fault typically occurs when the Cisco UCS Manager could not place the vNIC on the vCon.

Step 1 Verify that the server was successfully discovered.

Step 2 Verify that the correct type of adapters are installed on the server.

Step 3 Confirm that the vCon assignment is correct.

For more information regarding vCon assignment, please reference the document below:

Hope this helps someone!
