The trunk priority is not important on the LPAR but is on a dual VIO configuration. Also the access external network MUST NOT be selected on the LPAR as there is no external network to access as it is all logical!
I have removed the Trunk priority and access to external network from the LPARs... and it is working fine.
I am facing another issue.
I would like to create another Virtual Ethernet Adapter and give it a new IP - different segment and different subnet mask..
LPAR 1
My en0 ==> 172.16.101.10
G/W ==> 172.16.101.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
VLAN ID: 1
IEEE.8 = NO
For my en1 ==> 10.10.10.10
G/W -- No gateway since it is connected to the same switch as above (Cisco Switch) but this IP is going to be used between LPARs only for RAC ( Oracle Real Application Cluster )
VLAN ID: 1
IEEE.8 = NO
subnet mask: 255.255.255.252
LPAR 2
My en0 ==> 172.16.101.11
G/W ==> 172.16.101.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
VLAN ID: 1
IEEE.8 = NO
For my en1 ==> 10.10.10.11
G/W = No Gateway
VLAN ID: 1
IEEE.8 = NO
subnet mask: 255.255.255.252
MY VIO Server 1
physical Port ==> en1 ==> 172.16.101.2
G/W: 172.16.101.1
VLAN ID: 1
IEEE.8 = NO
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Physical Port
virtual en3 ( mapped with en0 for external ) ==> 172.16.101.3
G/W: 172.16.101.1
VLAN ID: 1
IEEE.8 = NO
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
MY VIO Server 2
physical Port ==> en1 ==> 172.16.101.4
G/W: 172.16.101.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Physical Port
virtual en3 (mapped with en0 for external) ==> 172.16.101.5
G/W: 172.16.101.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
But I cannot ping
from LPAR1 to LPAR2 on the IP 10.10.10.11
1) Do I need to add a different VLAN ID in each LPAR for 10.10.10.x SUB-NET ?
2) Do I need to add a different VLAN ID and create a virtual ethernet adapter in VIO_Server ?
3) Do I need to enable the IEEE8 ?
any help would be appreciated.
