Managing Hardware With Oracle^® Solaris Cluster 4.4

Configuring SR-IOV Devices with VLANs as Private Interconnect Networks

Oracle Solaris Cluster supports SR-IOV (VF) devices for public network and transport.

For transport usage, the traffic will be seen by all VF devices and hence different guest domain clusters have to choose a unique default network to avoid conflict. To use a default network without any conflict, set the pvid property with a tagged-vlan ID created on the network switch.

# ldm set-io pvid=<tagged-vlanid> VF-Device

For example:

# ldm set-io pvid=2859 /SYS/MB/NET2/IOVNET.PF1.VF0
# ldm ls-io -l

/SYS/MB/NET2/IOVNET.PF1.VF0                VF     pci_2    guest1
[pci@300/pci@3/network@0,81]
    Class properties [NETWORK]
        mac-addr = 00:14:4f:fb:73:51
        port-vlan-id = 2859
        mtu = 1500
