Description Lior Vernia 2014-03-04 14:56:20 UTC

Title: VNIC Profile Overview

Describe the issue:

The function of vNIC Profiles is not completely explained. Specifically, I would expect some sentence stating that profiles are the view of a network as seen by VMs, i.e. that VMs nowadays use logical networks in RHEV only via a profile.

Also, since a vNIC Profile is actually a more general concept than QoS, I would expect that to be explained first, and for QoS to appear afterwards as one (important) attribute belonging to a profile.


Suggestions for improvement:

Described above.

Also, I would link to this section from the Create VM or Manage VM sections, when the VM's interfaces are discussed.

Fixed in 25667, CS13109.

What Changed
------------------------------
The following topic was revised to add a 'note' box explaining the method by which virtual machines access network interface cards, and 'Card' was added to 'Virtual Network Interface' so that the abbreviation of 'VNIC' would be fully spelled out.
