Mapping to wrong network while scaling-out a Virtual System Instance (VSI) in a multi-system environment in IBM Cloud Pak System

Troubleshooting


Problem

In IBM Cloud Pak System, when you scale out a Virtual System Instance (VSI), in a multi-system environment, you cannot map the network cards (NICs) again when multiple NICs are defined in the pattern. This condition might result in NICs that are mapped to the wrong network.

Resolving The Problem

In a multi-system environment, make sure to deploy at least one virtual machine (VM) on every system during initial deployment. This way, you can define the network card (NIC) mapping, which is used for every additional scaling-out operation.
Deploy at least one virtual machine (VM) on every system during initial deployment.
