Network Status BL685

Post_ITS_Server_Team — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 09:58:50 GMT

Hello

We have in our SIM some C7000 blade enclosures with some BL685c G6 ESXi 4 Servers connected over Virtual Connect Manager. A BL685 has 16 onboard network interfaces but we don't have everyone of them connected. Thats why we have allways the network status on Major.
On Windows servers we solved this by disabling the unused interfaces but how can we do this on ESXi 4 servers?

Regards,
Ville

Has anyone any suggestions?

The only thing that can be done due to the limitations in ESXi would be to create a dummy VC network and to have the unused interfaces be connected to that network in the profile.
