Create Port Profile Network Topology

To push a port profile to VMware, the Cisco UCS Manager must have defined vCenter, datacenter, DVS folder, DVS, and profile client objects. The topology of these objects must match the topology in VMware. CA Server Automation lets you create the required topology.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Resources, and open the Explore pane.
2. Right-click a UCS Manager in the Explore tree, and click VMware to launch the vCenter Layout dialog
3. Expand vCenter and highlight a vCenter, datacenter, DVS folder, DVS, or profile client object.
4. Select Create New in the Actions drop-down menu.
5. Enter the required information, and click Finish. Selecting Enable on the DVS panel automatically pushes the associated port profiles to vCenter.

   The vCenter, datacenter, DVS folder, DVS, or profile client object is added.

Note: To use this dialog to delete topology objects, select Delete on the Actions drop-down menu.
