To edit the configuration for an existing network:

1. On the Networking tab, click the Networks subtab link and select the network that you wish to edit.

2. Click the Edit Network icon in the toolbar.

3. A dialog opens to allow you to reconfigure the network. The dialog has three separate tabs:

   • Configuration:: A tab containing a form allowing you to edit the following information:

     • Name: The name of the network in Oracle VM Manager.

     • Description: Optional information you would like to add about this network.

     • Network Uses: A set of check boxes that allow you to define the various network roles or channels that are enabled on the network.

       • Management: Used to manage the physical Oracle VM Servers in a server pool, for example, to update the Oracle VM Agent on the different Oracle VM Servers. This network function is assigned to at least one network by default.

       • Live_Migrate: Used to migrate virtual machines from one Oracle VM Server to another in a server pool, without changing the status of the virtual machine.

       • Cluster_Heartbeat: Used to verify if the Oracle VM Servers in a clustered server pool are up and running.

       • Virtual_Machine: Used for the network traffic between the different virtual machines in a server pool.

       • Storage: Reserved for future use and currently has no practical function or application.

   • Ports: A tab allowing you to manage which ports or bonds on each Oracle VM Server are attached to the network. This tab contains a tabular view of ports and bonds that are already attached to the network. At the top of the table is a toolbar containing options to Add New Ports, Edit Port(s), or Delete Port(s).

     To Add A Port To The Network

     1. Click the Add New Ports icon at the top of the table.

     2. The Add Ports to Network dialog is displayed. Select the server where the network port or bond that you wish to add is located, and expand the node alongside it. Select the port or ports that you wish to add.

        Note

        Only ports that are not bonded are displayed. Once a port is part of a bond, it can no longer be used outside of that bond.

     3. Click OK to add the ports that you have selected, or click Cancel to exit without any changes.

     To Edit A Port Within The Network

     1. Select the port or ports that you wish to edit within the network.

     2. Click the Edit Port(s) icon.

     3. The Edit Port(s) dialog is displayed.

     4. For each port listed, you are able to edit the MTU setting, and the IP Address assignment settings.

     5. Click OK when you have finished editing ports to save the changes, or click Cancel to exit.

     To Delete A Port From The Network

     1. Select the port or ports that you wish to remove from the network.

     2. Click the Delete Port(s) icon.

     3. The Delete Confirmation dialog box is displayed. Click OK to delete the port from the network.

   • VLAN Interfaces: A tab allowing you to manage which VLAN interfaces are attached to the network. This tab contains a tabular view of VLAN interfaces that are already attached to the network. At the top of the table is a toolbar containing options to Add VLAN Interfaces, Edit VLAN Interface(s), or Delete VLAN Interface(s).

     To Add A VLAN Interface To The Network

     1. Click the Add VLAN Interfaces icon in the toolbar.

     2. The Add VLAN Interfaces to Network dialog is displayed. In the panel on the left, you are able to expand nodes showing servers assigned to different server pools, or unassigned servers. By clicking on the different nodes in this panel, you are able to update the tabular view of the different available VLAN interfaces on the right.

        Note that if you have not already defined any VLAN interfaces as described in Section 5.2, “VLAN Interfaces”, no VLAN interfaces are displayed in this view and you are unable to add any VLAN interfaces to the network. In other words, you must define your VLAN interfaces on the VLAN Interfaces subtab, before attempting to add any VLAN interfaces to a network.

     3. Identify the VLAN interfaces that you wish to add to the network and check the check box alongside them.

     4. Click OK to add the selected VLAN interfaces to the network, or click Cancel to exit without making any changes.

     To Edit A VLAN Interface Within The Network

     1. Select the VLAN interface that you wish to edit within the network.

     2. Click the Edit VLAN Interface(s) icon in the toolbar.

     3. The Edit VLAN Interface(s) dialog is displayed.

     4. For each VLAN interface listed, you are able to edit the MTU setting, and the IP Address assignment settings.

     5. Click OK when you have finished editing VLAN interfaces to save the changes, or click Cancel to exit.

     To Delete A VLAN Interface From The Network

     1. Select the VLAN interfaces that you wish to remove from the network.

     2. Click the Delete VLAN Interface(s) icon.

     3. The Delete Confirmation dialog box is displayed. Click OK to delete the VLAN interface from the network.

4. When you have finished editing the network, click OK to save the changes, or Cancel to exit out of the dialog without saving any changes.
