VNic Mac addresses not associated correctly when installing OVM Server

[S_LaFleur]

We are trying to get our first Oracle VM environment running and noticed that on the UCS the mac assocated with eth0 ended with 0B but on the  Oracle install the eth0 interface mac address ends with 08.  The mac for eth3 on the Oracle install lines up with what the UCS sees as eth0.  How do we correct this and ensure the interfaces line up so that eth0 on the UCS is eth0 on the Oracle service profile ?

This is going to depend on how Oralce numerates the PCI BUS.  That will dictate which PCI device the OS sees in which order.

You can try manipulating the order using a vNIC placement policy.  This will allow you to ensure certain vNIC/vHBAs appear first on the PCI BUS for the host.
