A.34 create BondPort

Creates a bond port on an Oracle VM Server.

Syntax

create BondPort ethernetPorts=value mode= { ACTIVE_PASSIVE | LINK_AGGREGATION | LOAD_BALANCED } mtu=value [ interfaceName=value ] name=value [ description=value ] on Server instance

Where instance is:

{ id=value | name=value }

Description

This command creates a bond port on an Oracle VM Server .

To configure the IP address for a bond port, use the embeddedCreate command.

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`ethernetPorts=value`	The name or ID of at least two Ethernet ports in a comma separated list. The name or ID must match the name or ID as it is stored for each port within Oracle VM Manager.
`mode=` { `ACTIVE_PASSIVE` \| `LINK_AGGREGATION` \| `LOAD_BALANCED` }	The network bonding mode.
`mtu=value`	The MTU value. May be an integer between `1500` and `64000`.
`interfaceName=value`	An optional name for the bond in the format `bondN`, for example `bond1`, or `bond2`. If you do not enter a name, the default of `bondN` is used, where `N` is the next available bond number. This cannot be changed after the bond is created.
`name=value`	A name to identify the bond.
`description=value`	Optional description for the bond. `value` is a maximum of 4,000 characters.
{ `id=value` \| `name=value` }	The instance of the object using either the `id` or `name` option, for example `name=MyServer`.

Note

Any create command only creates a single instance of an object, and therefore only accepts a single object instance as an attribute. Providing more than one object of the same attribute type as a parameter always results in the last attribute value taking precedence.

Examples

  on Server name=MyServer

OVM> create bondPort name=MyPortBond2 mode=ACTIVE_PASSIVE mtu=1500 \ 
  ethernetPorts="eth3 on MyServer,eth5 on MyServer" on server name=MyServer
