Limits VNICs created in Host Manual Mode.
sethostvniclimit connector|lagname <-guid guid>|<-host hostname -port port>|<-node string -port port> -limit number -vlanlist vlan_ID1 ... vlan_IDn
where:
connector is the name of the connector (0A-ETH-1 to 0A-ETH-4 and 1A-ETH-1 to 1A-ETH-4).
lagname is the identifier of the LAG
guid is the global unique identifier of the target port on the host associated with the VNICs.
hostname is the host name of the management controller or system name recognized by the BridgeX manager.
port is the port of the host.
string is the character string in the node description field.
number is the maximum number of host-created VNICs for the IOA.
vlan_ID is the VLAN identifier (NO or 2 to 4094).
Note - Do not use VLAN identifiers 0, 1, or 4095. According to the IEEE 802.1Q specification, VLAN ID 0 is used for priority tag, and VLAN ID 1 is usually reserved for a switch or bridge management VLAN.
This hardware command sets the limit for the maximum number of host-created VNICs assigned to a host port for a gateway connector. The sethostvniclimit command is preferable to the allowhostconfig command because it permits the gateway to control VNIC resources. Similar to the allowhostconfig command, the sethostvniclimit command enables Host Manual Mode for a specified host.
Note - The sethostvniclimit and allowhostconfig commands cannot be used simultaneously. You can display which is available for use with the showgwconfig command. If in the output of the showgwconfig command the Running Value for the Allow host VNIC config parameter is yes, then the allowhostconfig command is in use. If you want to use the sethostvniclimit command, use the disallowhostconfig command to change the Running Value to no (as seen with the showgwconfig command), and then use the sethostvniclimit command
The sethostvniclimit command is available from the /SYS/Gateway_Mgmt and /SYS/Fabric_Mgmt Linux shell targets of the Oracle ILOM CLI interface.
This table describes the options to the sethostvniclimit command and their purposes.

This example shows how to limit the number of VNICs to 5 for connector 0A-ETH-1 with the sethostvniclimit command.
