Full Discussion: Network of Virtual machine not working
Operating Systems Solaris Network of Virtual machine not working Post 302931300 by Peasant on Monday 12th of January 2015 12:02:56 PM

On Solaris 11.2, you should be using ipadm to configure network, not ifconfig.

As a glanced thru your posts, there is a lot of errors regarding initial configuration of primary domain (the hypervisor), since you were using Solaris 10 guide on Solaris 11 operating system.

In this point, due to above stated, quickest way would be to reinstall the entire machine and configure it properly following the documentation for your solaris release, in this case Solaris 11.2
After initial installation of operating system, the primary domain will need to have network configured.

The configuration of network will differ depending on the technology used and how are network ports on switch configured (VLAN tagging, trunking etc.)

The most simplest configuration of primary domain would be :

Using ipadm command and selected interfaces (e.g. net0,net1... dladm show-phys will show you connected and available interfaces to configure).
Code:
ipadm create-ip net0
ipadm create-ip net1
ipadm create-ipmp ipmp0
ipadm add-ipmp -i net0 -i net1 ipmp0
ipadm set-ifprop -p standby=on net1 # this is optional, we are using active passive, where net0 is active and net1 is on standby if net0 fails.
ipadm create-addr -T static -a <youraddress>/bitmask ipmp0/v4
route -p add default <yourdefault router>
# you might want to configure resolving, ntp and additional parameters here...


Now that we are over with initial network configuration of primary (control domain)...

Code:
ldm start-reconf primary # we will intitiate a delayed reconfiguration which will be active after reboot
ldm set-vcpu 8 primary # we are giving 8 vcpu to hypervisor
ldm set-mem 4G primary  # we are giving 4 GB of memory to hypervisor
ldm add-spconfig <yourconfigname>

Reboot the host using init 6 command as root.

Network on the hypervisor should work now with persistent route added and static address configured.

Now you need to configure network for ldoms by creating virtual switch(es) to be used with ldoms.
You can use net0 and net1 for virtual switches as well as any other available physical interface (not ipmp groups, but, for instance, VLAN tagged interfaces - yes)

IPMP groups are created inside ldoms.

Aggregated interfaces are created on the hypervisor (control/service) domain, and the newly create interface (aggr0) is the net-dev used for virtual switch creation.

All configuration commands noted by me can and should be expanded for your specific needs.

You will need to read the documentation with understanding, not just paste commands from it to servers.

Hope this clears things a bit.

Regards
Peasant.

systemd-networkd

SYSTEMD-NETWORKD.SERVICE(8)				     systemd-networkd.service				       SYSTEMD-NETWORKD.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-networkd.service, systemd-networkd - Network manager

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-networkd.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-networkd is a system service that manages networks. It detects and configures network devices as they appear, as well as creating
       virtual network devices.

       To configure low-level link settings independently of networks, see systemd.link(5).

       systemd-networkd will create network devices based on the configuration in systemd.netdev(5) files, respecting the [Match] sections in
       those files.

       systemd-networkd will manage network addresses and routes for any link for which it finds a .network file with an appropriate [Match]
       section, see systemd.network(5). For those links, it will flush existing network addresses and routes when bringing up the device. Any
       links not matched by one of the .network files will be ignored. It is also possible to explicitly tell systemd-networkd to ignore a link by
       using Unmanaged=yes option, see systemd.network(5).

       When systemd-networkd exits, it generally leaves existing network devices and configuration intact. This makes it possible to transition
       from the initrams and to restart the service without breaking connectivity. This also means that when configuration is updated and
       systemd-networkd is restarted, netdev interfaces for which configuration was removed will not be dropped, and may need to be cleaned up
       manually.

CONFIGURATION FILES

       The configuration files are read from the files located in the system network directory /lib/systemd/network, the volatile runtime network
       directory /run/systemd/network and the local administration network directory /etc/systemd/network.

       Networks are configured in .network files, see systemd.network(5), and virtual network devices are configured in .netdev files, see
       systemd.netdev(5).
