Create an HA PVI VNIC (EDR) (GUI)

HA PVI VNICs are a pair of VNICs in the same PVI that are hosted on the same server. They operate conceptually the same way HA VNICs do. For more information, refer to HA vNIC Overview in Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0.2 Administration Guide However, with HA PVI VNICs, two separate HCA ports are required to configure HA PVI VNICs.

1. Display the I/O Template Editor and complete the fields above the workspace.
2. On the workspace toolbar, click the Add an HA VNIC icon.

   The HA VNIC starts as a standard HA VNIC, but will become an HA PVI VNIC when attached to a public cloud.

3. Click the VNIC and drag to draw a line to the public cloud you need.
   

   When the HA VNIC is connected to the PVI cloud, the HA PVI VNIC is created and terminated on a port in that public cloud.

4. On the I/O Template Summary, verify that the I/O template is created.

   The Status field should show a green check mark.

5. Repeat this procedure as needed to create additional HA PVI VNICs.

   Each HA PVI VNIC can be connected to individual, unique public clouds. You cannot connect two HA PVI VNICs to the same public cloud.

   Although the HA PVI VNIC is created in the template, it is not yet pushed to the server.

6. On the top toolbar, click the disk icon to save the I/O template.
7. Assign the template to the servers in the Oracle SDN environment.

   See to Deploy the I/O Template to a Server.

8. Set up host-side HA.

   See Set Up PVI VNIC Redundancy on Hosts.

9. Check the Oracle SDN environment through the command-line.

   See Verifying Oracle SDN Configuration.
