Hide or show unused FlexNICs Select Hide Unused FlexNICs to prevent the operating system from
enumerating FlexNICs. Deselect Hide Unused FlexNICs to enumerate all
FlexNICs.
The default setting for profiles created using VC 4.10 is to hide the unused
FlexNICs.
The default setting for profiles created using VC 4.01 or earlier is to show the

created in VC 4.01 or earlier by editing the profile and selecting the Hide
Unused FlexNICs option.

teaming, to restore communication.
