The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.

See the following steps for a complete workflow of Cisco UCSM with Microsoft SCVMM:
As a prerequisite for the Hyper-V host that you plan on using in the Cisco UCS cluster, configure the service profile network settings first. In the Modify vNIC window in the GUI, configure the dynamic vNIC connection policy on the static vNIC.
In the Adapter Performance Profile panel, select an SRIOV adapter policy for static vNICs.
In the Connection Policies panel, select Dynamic vNIC connection policy on one or more static vNICs that you plan on using.
In the Connection Policies panel, click Add to create a dynamic vNIC connection policy. A new window opens.
Select windows as the adapter policy for the dynamic vNIC.
After completing the steps outlined in this section, SR-IOV is enabled on the vNICs. For more information on configuring policies, see Configuring Policies.
For more information on creating VLANs, see the CLI configuration guide for the Cisco UCSM version that you are using.
