•AssignedOnly—vNICs and vHBAs must be explicitly assigned to the vCon. You can assign them
explicitlythrough the service profile or the properties of the vNIC or vHBA.
•ExcludeDynamic—Dynamic vNICs and vHBAs cannot be assigned to the vCon. The vCon can be
usedfor allstatic vNICs and vHBAs,whether they areunassigned or explicitlyassigned to it.
•ExcludeUnassigned—Unassigned vNICs and vHBAs cannot be assigned to the vCon. The vCon
canbe used for dynamic vNICs and vHBAs and for static vNICs and vHBAs that are explicitly
assignedto it.

Page 5: Setting the Server Boot Order
Thisprocedure directly follows Page 4: Setting the vNIC/vHBA Placement, on page 502. It describes how to
setthe server boot order options on the ServerBoot Orderpage of the Create Service Profile (expert)
wizard.
Werecommend that the boot order in a boot policy include either a local disk or a SAN LUN, but not
both,to avoidthe possibility of the server booting from the wrong storagetype. If you configurea local
diskand a SAN LUN for the boot order storage type and the operating system or logical volume manager
(LVM)is configured incorrectly, the server might boot from the local disk rather than the SAN LUN.
Forexample, on a serverwith Red Hat Linux installed, where the LVM is configured with default LV
namesand the boot order is configured with a SAN LUN and a local disk, Linux reports that there are
twoLVs with the same name and boots from the LV with the lowest SCSI ID, which could be the local
disk.
