LDOM Solaris 11 add Network vsw (Virtual switch)

hello, I have a problem when configuring the network at the LDOM level, on a SPARC-Enterprise-T5120 machine

The network goes through VLAN 503 (level, network tagget)
And I need to give network to the guest domain: madarrwebsol10
I hope someone can bring some light ....
Excuse my English ...


****
Code:
SunOS madarrlab01 5.11 11.3 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120

root@madarrlab01:~# ipadm
NAME              CLASS/TYPE STATE        UNDER      ADDR

   vlan503/v4     static     ok           --         172.22.206.154/23

VLAN is taggint for VLAN503 on net0

Do not create vlan interface (dladm create-vlan ..).
Delete that interface.

If using VLAN tagging add the virtual switch in this manner :
Code:
ldm add-vsw net-dev=net0 pvid=1, vid=503 <human_name>-vsw0 primary

Then add tagged interface into guest domain :
Code:
ldm add-vnet pvid=503 vnet0 <human_name>-vsw0 madarrwebsol10

This way, tagging will be done by hypervisor vnet/vsw, not inside guest domain.
Guest domain will be in VLAN 503 exclusively.

Good practice would be to aggregate all four network ports into one aggr0 then use that for as net-dev.
You will get redundancy in case of failure, as well as combined bandwidth of 4 network ports.

Also, on that aggregated interface specify as many VLAN ids that are used in your environment when creating VSW.
The switch network ports should be configured as trunk.

Hope that helps

So...

I can create vlan with aggr

Code:
dladm create-aggr -l net0 -l net1 aggr0
dladm modify-aggr -L active -T long aggr0
dladm create-vlan -l aggr0 -v 503 vlan503 
ipadm create-ip vlan503 
ipadm create-addr -T static -a 172.22.206.154/23

Glad you got it working.

A couple of things you should notice.

You only need VLAN (dladm create-vlan) interface for the hypervisor IP address.
I would recommend using seperate VLAN id for hypervisor ip address (security wise).

Creating VSW with name of virtual machine is not proper naming.

Human is for instance : lab-vsw0, prod0-vsw or similar descriptive name.
You will use that virtual switch for other machines as well, so naming it after one ldom is not so straightforward.

Be careful about naming in Oracle VM server hypervisor, it will allow you to name anything you like as you like it.
When you have a lot of machines, naming policy will save you extra investigation what is mapped where (disks, vsw to ldom etc.)

Hope that helps
