Create a Public Cloud (EDR)
Use this procedure to create a public cloud as the termination for EDR PVI VNICs.
-
Determine whether the EDR devices need to connect to devices off of the IB
fabric.
If devices need to connect off of the IB fabric, you will need to create an uplink. See (Optional) Add an Uplink to a Public Cloud (EDR).
- Display the Public Cloud Summary.
-
Click the plus sign to add a new public cloud.
The New Public Cloud dialog is displayed.
- Type a name for the public cloud.
-
Select the specific MTU for use on all PVI VNICs that terminate in the
cloud.
See Supported MTU Sizes, then select a value that is congruent with the MTU size in use in your IB network.
-
If the EDR fabric has specific IB partitions, select the partition for the
public cloud. Otherwise, leave the Partition drop-down menu at the default
value.
For information about IB partitions, refer to Managing Partitions in Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0.2 Administration Guide.
-
Select whether the public cloud supports trunk mode of VLANs that are
configured on the PVI VNICs associated with the public cloud.
For information about trunk mode, refer to Add or Remove a VLAN Range in Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0.2 Administration Guide.
- (Optional) Add a description to the public cloud.
- Select one uplink on each chassis, or a pair of uplinks on each chassis for HA.
-
Click Submit.
At this point, the public cloud is created, but you will need to create PVI VNICs or HA PVI VNICs for it. See the appropriate task:
