Create Additional Links on the IB Storage Network for Zones

Language:

Log in to the Database Domain that contains the zones that you created.

Identify the first and second IB networks and net IDs.
In the following example,
- stor_ipmp0_0 is the first IB network, and net22 is the first_net_ID.
- stor_ipmp0_1 is the second IB network, and net23 is the second_net_ID.
```
# dladm show-part | grep stor_ipmp0_
stor_ipmp0_0 8503  net22         up       f---
stor_ipmp0_1 8503  net23         up       f---
```

Add links to the zones in this Database Domains:

# zonecfg -z zonename
zonecfg:zonename> add anet
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set linkname=first_net_ID
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set lower-link=first_net_ID
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set pkey=8503
zonecfg:zonename:anet> end
zonecfg:zonename> add anet
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set linkname=second_net_ID
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set lower-link=second_net_ID
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set pkey=8503
zonecfg:zonename:anet> end
zonecfg:zonename> exit

where:

zonename is the management host name (or Admin Name that was shown in Oracle Exadata Deployment Assistant) for this zone
first_net_ID is the first network ID shown for stor_ipmp0_0 from Step 2
second_net_ID is the second network ID shown for stor_ipmp0_0 from Step 2

For example:

# zonecfg -z zonename
zonecfg:zonename> add anet
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set linkname=net22
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set lower-link=net22
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set pkey=8503
zonecfg:zonename:anet> end
zonecfg:zonename> add anet
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set linkname=net23
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set lower-link=net23
zonecfg:zonename:anet> set pkey=8503
zonecfg:zonename:anet> end
zonecfg:zonename> exit

Reboot the zone for the changes to take effect:

# zoneadm -z zonename reboot

For example:

# zoneadm -z scm7zdbadm02 reboot

Log in to the zone:

# zlogin zonename

For example:

# zlogin scm7zdbadm02

Create the IP addresses in the zone for the new links:
```
# ipadm create-ip first_net_ID
# ipadm create-ip second_net_ID
```
where:
- first_net_ID is the first network ID from Step 2
- second_net_ID is the second network ID from Step 2
For example:
```
# ipadm create-ip net22
# ipadm create-ip net23
```

Find an unused IP address from the same subnet as the stor_ipmp0 interface:

Enter the following command:

# ipadm show-addr

Output similar to the following appears:

ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8
net13/v4          static   ok           169.254.182.77/24
stor_ipmp0/v4     static   ok        
  192.168.28.2/22
bondeth0/v4       static   ok           10.129.119.1/20
bondib0/v4        static   ok           192.168.10.1/22
bondib1/v4        static   ok           192.168.10.2/22
bondmgt0/v4       static   ok           10.129.104.1/20
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128

Locate the stor_ipmp0 line in the output, highlighted in the example output above.
In the ADDR column for this line, the subnet is shown as 192.168.28.2, with a subnet mask of 22.

Find an unused IP address from this stor_ipmp0 subnet to use for the new IPMP group.

Create the new IPMP group inside the zone:
```
# ipadm create-ipmp -i first_net_ID,second_net_ID ipmp_group
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a ip_address/22 ipmp_group/v4
```
where:
- first_net_ID is the first network ID shown in the output from Step 2
- second_net_ID is the second network ID shown in the output from Step 2
- ipmp_group is the name of the IPMP group that you are creating
- ip_address is an unused IP address from the same subnet as the stor_ipmp0 interface that you picked in Step 7
For example:
```
# ipadm create-ipmp -i net22,net23 stor_ipmp0
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.28.101/22 stor_ipmp0/v4
```

Designate the second network interface as the standby interface:
```
# ipadm set-ifprop -p standby=on -m ip second_net_ID
```
where second_net_ID is the second network ID shown in the output from Step 2.

For example:
```
# ipadm set-ifprop -p standby=on -m ip net23
```

Verify that the second network interface was set up correctly as the standby interface:
```
# ipmpstat -g
```
The second network interface should appear in parenthesis in the output. For example:
```
# ipmpstat -g
GROUP       GROUPNAME   STATE  FDT  INTERFACES
stor_ipmp0  stor_ipmp0  ok     --   net22  (net23)
```

Repeat Step 3 through Step 10 for each zone that you created in this Database Domain.
