when setting my zone config file up, I would naturally set 'set ip-type=exclusive' but I wanted to know, whether on the 'set physical=' line whether I could use a virtual interface that ive created in the global zone such as bge0:1.
for example
traditionally, i have always either used the read physical, thus truly dedicating the whole port to the zone, or used vlan tagged interface which both work fine. Would a Virtual Nic work OK as well ?
ps; i dont currently have a server to test this on hence why im on here
Never tried before if your system is not critical or non production environment give it a try if it complains then this is might not be possible if everything goes okay then it works.
Please share with us your experiment with us.

No. You can't use a virtual interface like bge0:1. Exclusive precisely means the interface is wholly owned by the zone and virtual interface, sharing its stack with its underlying physical one, can't fulfill the requirement.
With OpenSolaris/Solaris 11 (Express) and crossbow, you can create a vnic an dedicate it to a zone.

Thanks, you mention you cannot share the underlying stack, but ive got this working with vlan tagged interfaces on the same physical interfacae
so for example on bge1
I can create for vlan 123 and 456 the following interfaces and exclusive IP both of them
bge1230001
bge4560001
and this works fine, does this not use the same underlying stack ?
It is not. VLAN interfaces do not share the same stack by definition, the idea being precisely to isolate data. What is shared is the physical interface.
I'm trying to migrate a Solaris 10 flar archive from a Sun M3000 to a T4-1.

I have 2 autosys jobs (JobA and JobB) both are in different boxes but part of one big box. I want to make them mutually exclusive so that when JobA is running then JobB should not run and wait for jobA to finish/fail/terminate and vice versa.
Both jobs have their own starting conditions... (1 Reply)

Hi all
Can someone give me a quick `simple man` run down on the various FS types / paramters which you need to configure.
E.g. special, raw, match, type
I understand raw, the raw filesystem, type is the lofs, zfs,ufs, but match ? special ?
When would you use lofs, over ufs... (0 Replies)

Hello,
I have a V120 server with two network interfaces. I would like to use one of them in my non global zone.

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you guys know of way to make applications that use sound device on linux to access it in a "non-exclusive manner", the aim is to be able to use more than one application that requires the sound device.
Thanks (0 Replies)
