8.Installing the Palo Card:
 

9. Enable static 2 VNICs and HBAs if needed on PALO

 
10 Enable Directed I/O n BIOS

 
 11. Create Dynamic Vnic policy: total # of vnics = (number of uplinks between IOM and FI * 15) -2 ==

for one uplink , it will be 15 -2 =13 and also 2 VHBAs , so 13 -2 =11.
 
12. Associate the Dynamic Vnic policy to Service Profile (SP change will reboot the server)


 
13.Install ESX server 4.0

14. Enable ssh root access on ESX server and install VEM.

Tricky part to find right vem, and also use vumupdate.
