Enable Ethernet Over IB for the Oracle IB Switch IS2-46 or Oracle IB Switch IS2-254 (Oracle Solaris)

  1. Ensure that the VNIC has been created on the switch.

    For information on creating VNICs on the switch, refer to Configuring a VNIC in the Oracle Fabric OS 1.0 Administration Guide.

  2. On the server, log in to the Oracle Solaris host to ensure that the VNIC has been successfully created.
     
    # prtconf -D | grep xs                                          
    ibport, instance #0 (driver name: xstn)         
        vnic0, instance #4 (driver name: xsvnic)
      

    where vnic0 is the VNIC name.

  3. Display the corresponding interface.
    #  dladm show-phys

    net11        Ethernet        unknown  0      unknown   xsvnic4
      

    Where the interface for VNIC is net11.

  4. Manually configure the IP address for the VNIC.
     
     # ipadm create-ip net11
     # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 7.7.7.56/24 net11net11/v4
     # ipadm
