Oracle^® SuperCluster T5-8 Zones With Oracle Database on Database Domains Configuration Guide

Determine if Additional VNETs Are Needed (Software Commands)

Another way to determine whether or not you will need to create additional VNETs for certain Database Domains is by using these software commands:

1. Log in to the Database Domain where you are setting up zones.
2. Type:

   # ipmpstat -g
   

   You might see output similar to the following:

   GROUP       GROUPNAME   STATE     FDT       INTERFACES
   bondmgt0    bondmgt0    ok        --        net6 net2
   

3. Note the information displayed in the INTERFACES column from the output.

   In the example above, net6 and net2 are the interfaces displayed in the INTERFACES column.

4. Type:

   # dladm show-phys | grep vnet
   

   • If you do not see any output (if no output was returned after entering the command above), then you do not have to create additional VNETs. Go to Running the Java OneCommand.

   • If you see output similar to the following, then you must create additional VNETs for the zones that you will be setting up on these Database Domains:

     net2              Ethernet             up         0      unknown   vnet0
     net6              Ethernet             up         0      unknown   vnet1
     

     where the net# interfaces displayed in the ipmpstat -g command is shown with VNETs associated with those net# interfaces (in the above example, with vnet0 associated with the net2 interface and vnet1 associated with the net6 interface). Go to Create VNETs for Zones.
