VN-Link Hardware require Nexus 1000v yes or not?

[gonhvvjvo]

I have a problem about VN-Link Hardware. When i create port profile on UCS Manager and Create Port Profile Client then vCenter will create Port Group too. But when i apply network in Virtual Machine by select Port Group in vCenter i can't see Virtual Maching Guest in VM tab on UCS Manager.

Finally question VN-Link Hardware require Nexus 1000v install on ESX yes or not? in UCS Manager GUI document say need require DVS Switch.

Can you confirm if you are able to edit the settings of the virtual machine and select the newly created port-profile?

VN-link doesn't require the 1000v, but it does create a DVS in vCenter.  You can view this under the Configuration -> Networking settings of the ESX host, or under the Networking view.
