VM-FEX FOR KVM

Hi,

I have a attached a screen shot with details showing the firmware version of fabric interconnect, ucs manager, vic adapters , etc.

I have 1 server in the chassi. I have configured 1 server port, and several uplink ports which are connected to lan switches.I am using red-hat 7.2 stateless image for the host. I am trying to create a vm now using virsh create. Following are few issues/concerns I have

1. I don't see the created vm in the cisco UCS GUI under the vm tab. Which is probably why ftp from the vm to external network is also not working.

I have attached my xml file below. I referred to below document a little bit, but there was no mention of how to use linux bridges to create vm's.

http://www1.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/vm_fex/kvm/gui/config_guide/2-2/b_GUI_KVM_VM-FEX_UCSM_Configuration_Guide_2_2.pdf#unique_14

2. I have created service profile, dynamic vnics, etc as per the steps. Although I get 1 warning while creating the vf's or dynamic vnics, which say "Failed to find any operational uplink port that carries all vlans of the vnics. The vnics will be shutdown which will lead to traffic disruption on all existing vlans." The funny thing is that I have not configured any vlans on any port. They are kept as default.

These are outputs of few cli commands:
