12. On the compute node, run the following command to display the list of VNICs
available on the compute node:
el01cn02# dladm show-phys | grep eoib
This command displays the name of the new interface, as seen on the compute
node, such as eoib0. Note the corresponding link, such as net7. It also displays
the state of the interface.
Note:
You may repeat the above steps to create more network- administered tagless
VNICs on the same compute node as long as a unique {ETH connector, port
GUID} tuple is chosen each time. When this second VNIC is configured in the
same manner, the VNIC is seen on the compute node (for example, as the
eoib1 interface with the link net8). It is recommended that you configure
these two Ethernet over InfiniBand (EoIB) interfaces in an IPMP group, such
as bond1.
To create a host-administered VNIC on a {ETH connector, port GUID} tuple
with a network-administered tagless VNIC already created on it, complete the
steps described in Oracle Solaris: Creating VNICs and Associating Them with
VLANs.
13. Create another VNIC for the same compute node, using a connector on a different
gateway switch, by following steps 1 to 12. Note the name of this interface and its
corresponding link. For example, eoib1 interface with the link net8.
14. Delete the following files:
• /etc/hostname.bond1
• /etc/hostname.eoib0
• /etc/hostname.eoib0
15. Restart the compute node by running the reboot command.
16. Create the VNIC you created in step 8 again on the compute node by running the
following command:
hostname# dladm create-vnic -l link_name [-v vlan_id] interface_name
Example:
el01cn02# dladm create-vnic -l net7 eoib0
el01cn02# dladm create-vnic -l net8 eoib1
If you are creating a VLAN tagged VNIC, use the -v option to add the VLAN ID
as follows:
el01cn02# dladm create-vnic -l net7 -v 1706 eoib0
el01cn02# dladm create-vnic -l net8 -v 1706 eoib1
17.
You can verify if the VNICs were created by using the dladm show-vnic
command as follows:
hostname# dladm show-vnic
