Guidelines for Managing vHBAs
When managing vHBAs, consider the following guidelines and restrictions:
• The Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card and Cisco UCS VIC1225 Virtual Interface Card provide
two vHBAs (fc0 and fc1). You can create up to 16 additional vHBAs on these adapter cards.
If Network Interface Virtualization (NIV) mode is enabled for the adapter, you must
assign a channel number to a vHBA when you create it.
Note
• When using the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card or Cisco UCS VIC1225 Virtual Interface Card
in an FCoE application, you must associate the vHBA with the FCoE VLAN. Follow the instructions
in Modifying vHBA Properties, on page 11 to assign the VLAN.
• After making configuration changes, you must reboot the host for settings to take effect.
