A PVI VNIC is a special type of VNIC that is terminated on a PVI cloud. When the PVI VNIC is terminated on the PVI cloud, it joins the Oracle SDN fabric. Other than needing a PVI cloud for termination, configuring a PVI VNIC is similar to creating a standard VNIC. Use this procedure to create a single PVI VNIC in the EDR environment.
This procedure requires the following:
At least one leaf, spine, or virtualization switch
A server with a supported, EDR-compatible HCA
Supported EDR-compatible MBOM/MPO cables
The VNIC starts as a standard VNIC, but becomes a PVI VNIC when attached to a public cloud.
The Status field should show a green check mark.
Each single PVI VNIC can be connected to individual, unique public clouds. You cannot connect two single PVI VNICs to the same public cloud.
Although the PVI VNIC is created in the template, the PVI VNIC is not yet pushed to the server.
Proceed to Deploy the I/O Template to a Server.
