Create Additional Links on the IB Storage Network for Zones

Language:

Log in to the Database Domain that contains the zones that you created.

Type:

# dladm show-ib

Output similar to the following appears:

LINK      HCAGUID           PORTGUID         PORT   STATE  PKEYS
net24     21280001FCBEBC    21280001FCBEBE   2      up     FFFF
net22     21280001FCC0EC    21280001FCC0EE   2     up     8503,8504,FFFF
net23     21280001FCBEBC    21280001FCBEBD   1     up     8503,8504,FFFF
net21     21280001FCC0EC    21280001FCC0ED   1      up     FFFF

Determine which network links are associated with the 8503 PKEY.
In the example output shown in the previous step, the lines that show the network links associated with the 8503 PKEY are shown in bold. The network links are shown in the LINK column (net22 and net23 in the example output).

Add links to the zones in this Database Domains:

# zonecfg -z zone_management_hostname
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname> add anet
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set linkname=first_net_link
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set lower-link=first_net_link
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set pkey=8503
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> end
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname> add anet
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set linkname=second_net_link
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set lower-link=second_net_link
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set pkey=8503
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> end
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname> exit

where:

zone_management_hostname is the management host name (or Admin Name that was shown in Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant) for this zone
first_net_link is the first network link shown in the output from Step 2
second_net_link is the second network link shown in the output from Step 2

For example:

# zonecfg -z zone_management_hostname
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname> add anet
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set linkname=net22
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set lower-link=net22
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set pkey=8503
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> end
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname> add anet
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set linkname=net23
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set lower-link=net23
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> set pkey=8503
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname:anet> end
zonecfg:zone_management_hostname> exit

Reboot the zone for the changes to take effect:

# zoneadm -z zone_management_hostname reboot

For example:

# zoneadm -z osc01zdbadm02 reboot

Log in to the zone:

# zlogin zone_management_hostname

For example:

# zlogin osc01zdbadm02

Create the IP addresses in the zone for the new links:
```
# ipadm create-ip first_net_link
# ipadm create-ip second_net_link
```
where:
- first_net_link is the first network link shown in the output from Step 2
- second_net_link is the second network link shown in the output from Step 2
For example:
```
# ipadm create-ip net22
# ipadm create-ip net23
```

Find an unused IP address from the same subnet as the stor_ipmp0 interface:

Enter the following command:

# ipadm show-addr

Output similar to the following appears:

ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8
net13/v4          static   ok           169.254.182.77/24
stor_ipmp0/v4     static   ok        
  192.168.28.2/22
bondeth0/v4       static   ok           10.129.119.1/20
bondib0/v4        static   ok           192.168.10.1/22
bondib1/v4        static   ok           192.168.10.2/22
bondmgt0/v4       static   ok           10.129.104.1/20
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128

Locate the stor_ipmp0 line in the output, highlighted in the example output above.
In the ADDR column for this line, the subnet is shown as 192.168.28.2, with a subnet mask of 22.

Find an unused IP address from this stor_ipmp0 subnet to use for the new IPMP group.

Create the new IPMP group inside the zone:
```
# ipadm create-ipmp -i first_net_link,second_net_link ipmp_group
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a ip_address/22 ipmp_group/v4
```
where:
- first_net_link is the first network link shown in the output from Step 2
- second_net_link is the second network link shown in the output from Step 2
- ipmp_group is the name of the IPMP group that you are creating
- ip_address is an unused IP address from the same subnet as the stor_ipmp0 interface that you picked in Step 8
For example:
```
# ipadm create-ipmp -i net22,net23 stor_ipmp0
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.28.101/22 stor_ipmp0/v4
```

Designate the second network interface as the standby interface:
```
# ipadm set-ifprop -p standby=on -m ip second_net_link
```
where second_net_link is the second network link shown in the output from Step 2.

For example:
```
# ipadm set-ifprop -p standby=on -m ip net23
```

Verify that the second network interface was set up correctly as the standby interface:
```
# ipmpstat -g
```
The second network interface should appear in parenthesis in the output. For example:
```
# ipmpstat -g
GROUP       GROUPNAME   STATE  FDT  INTERFACES
stor_ipmp0  stor_ipmp0  ok     --   net22  (net23)
```

Repeat Step 4 through Step 11 for each zone that you created in this Database Domain.
