Using Network Adapters With Logical Domains

In an Oracle Solaris 10 logical domains environment, the virtual switch service running in a service domain can directly interact with GLDv3-compliant network adapters. Though non-GLDv3 compliant network adapters can be used in these systems, the virtual switch cannot interface with them directly. See Configuring a Virtual Switch and the Service Domain for NAT and Routing for information about how to use non-GLDv3 compliant network adapters.


Note - GLDv3 compliance is not an issue for Oracle Solaris 11 environments.


For more information about using link aggregations, see Using Link Aggregation With a Virtual Switch.

How to Determine If a Network Adapter Is GLDv3-Compliant (Oracle Solaris 10)

This procedure only applies to Oracle Solaris 10 domains.
