In the Service Profile Template, I have played around with the vNIC/vHBA Placement trying to only use the Cisco VIC 1380 adapter, which is Adapter 2. vNIC/vHBA Placement Policies have been created, one for Linear and another for Round Robin LAN Connectivity Policy is configured with all eight vNICs four for various VLANs, split round-robin between FI-A and FI-B (eth4 eth5 eth6 eth7) two for vMotion, one on FI-A and the other on FI-B (eth2 and eth3) two for management, one on FI-A and the other on FI-B (eth0 and eth1) MAC Pool configured, size 256 and assigned sequential Hosts run VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 10175896, but issue existed in lesser builds as well. Firmware is UCS Manager 4.0(1b) but was an issue in 3.x firmware as well. Cisco UCS B200 M4 blade with Cisco UCS VIC 1340 (Adapter 1 / UCSB-MLOM-40G-03) and Cisco UCS VIC 1380 (Adapter 2 / UCSB-VIC-M83-8P) adapters.
