Function description

This Command adds an NIC to a server.

This Command can only be executed when the server virtualization software on the server is VMware, Hyper-V, or RHEL-KVM.

If the target server has snapshots, NIC addition cannot be done.

This command cannot be executed in the following cases:

The target L-Platform has Solaris Zones servers not managed by BladeLogic.

Log in guest OS after adding NIC, and set IP address displayed in detailed information of L-Server to guest OS manually.
