Network (network) Resource

A network resource is always contained within a <Content> section. It must have <gprop:GenericProperty> tags with the following keys:

• linkprop – Specifies whether the virtual device should get physical link state updates. When the value is phys-state, the virtual device gets physical link state updates. When the value is blank, the virtual device does not get physical link state updates (the default setting).

• vnet_name – Name of the virtual network (vnet)

• service_name – Name of the virtual switch (vswitch) to which this virtual network is to be bound

Optionally, the network resource can also have the following properties:

• <rasd:Address> – Assigns a MAC address to the virtual switch

• pvid – Port virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID) indicates the VLAN of which the virtual network needs to be a member, in untagged mode.

• vid – Virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID) indicates the VLAN of which a virtual network and virtual switch need to be a member, in tagged mode.

• mode – hybrid to enable hybrid I/O for that virtual network.

  Note - The NIU Hybrid I/O feature is deprecated in favor of SR-IOV. Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2 is the last software release to include this feature.
