vHBA with VSAN and Pin group associated at the same time.

Sr. Nunes

In a scenario in which I have I have associated a vHBA to a VSAN with multiple interfaces and also associated with a ping group, in case of failure
will the repining be done to another interface of the same VSAN or due to the ping group configuration havéra repining?

 

Note: I use Brocabe in the SAN so I do not use port channel.

 

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Right, you are pretty much telling the vHBA "You are only to use this uplink, if it fails, remain down until it comes back online"

 

If you want to dynamically re-pin to another uplink, just let the UCS select the pinning for the uplinks. It will evenly distribute the load over all uplinks.

If you use a pin group for your vHBA, if the port fails, the vHBA will not failover to another uplink.

In other words, vHBA ignores the VSAN configuration for multiple interfaces, correct?
