Create HA PVI VNICs (EDR) (CLI)
HA PVI VNICs are two standard VNICs that are added to the PVI cloud you just created. The HA PVI VNIC is typically created on two different server profiles from two different Oracle Fabric Interconnects.
You are required to configure the two server profiles on two different ports, and optimally, each of the ports would be on different Oracle Fabric Interconnects. In this configuration, each of the PVI VNICs is terminated on the same server running Oracle SDN to provide the two independent ports to the server and avoid any single point of failure.
- Log in to the first Oracle Fabric Interconnect.
-
Add a VNIC to the server profile and associate it with the public
cloud.
add vnic VNIC-name.server-profile-name public-network-name
- Log in to the second Oracle Fabric Interconnect.
-
Add the second VNIC with a different name to the same server profile and
associate it with the same public cloud as the primary VNIC.
add vnic VNIC-name.server-profile-name public-network-name
Caution - The second VNIC must be configured with a different name than the first VNIC. For example, you could create vnic1.serverprofile1 as the first PVI VNIC, and vnic2.serverprofile1 as the second PVI VNIC to make each unique.
- Continue the HA PVI configuration.
