18. To configure eoib0 and eoib1 in an IPMP group for high availability purposes,
do the following:
a. Identify the data links associated with the VNICs you created on the
InfiniBand switch by running the following command:
el01cn02# dladm show-phys -m
Identify the link names associated with the VNICs you created, such as net7
and net8.
b. Create the IPMP group by running the following command:
hostname# ipadm create-ipmp bond_name
Example:
el01cn02# ipadm create-ipmp bond1
c.
Create the IP interfaces for the two links you noted in step 18.a by running the
ipadm create-ip command as follows:
hostname# ipadm create-ip link_name
Example:
el01cn02# ipadm create-ip net7
el01cn02# ipadm create-ip net8
d. Create interfaces for the VNICs you created in step 16 by running the
following commands:
hostname# ipadm create-ip interface_name
Example:
el01cn02# ipadm create-ip eoib0
el01cn02# ipadm create-ip eoib1
e. Set one of the interfaces as a standby for the bonded interface, by running the
following command:
hostname# ipadm set-ifprop -p standby=on -m ip interface_name
Example:
e101cn02# ipadm set-ifprop -p standby=on -m ip eoib1
f. Add the two interfaces to the ipmp bond you created in step 18.b, by running
the following command:
hostname# ipadm add-ipmp -i interface_name1 -i interface_name2 bond_name
Example:
e101cn02# ipadm add-ipmp -i eoib0 -i eoib1 bond1
g.
Set an IP address for the bonded interface you created, by running the
following command:
hostname# ipadm create-addr –T static –a local=ipv4_address/CIDR_netmask
bond_name/v4
Example:
Set Up Ethernet Over InfiniBand (EoIB) on Oracle Solaris
Configure Ethernet Over InfiniBand 10-11
