Description: Cisco UCS vm:LifeCyclePolicy:vnicRetention managed object property

What is cucsVmLifeCyclePolicyVnicRetention?

This Gauge32 value is the number of days UCS Manager retains a vNIC's inventory record under the policy that controls how long UCS Manager retains VM and vNIC inventory records after they disappear from vCenter after its parent VM disappears from vCenter. An admin tunes cucsVmLifeCyclePolicyVnicRetention to control how long stale virtual-adapter entries remain visible in UCS Manager after a VM is removed, which affects how long historical adapter-level data stays queryable. For example, a longer cucsVmLifeCyclePolicyVnicRetention value would let an admin still pull up a deleted VM's old vNIC MAC address weeks after the VM itself was decommissioned.
