9. Run the following command to add port GUIDs and BridgeX ports, which you
noted down in Gather Port GUIDs of Compute Nodes and BridgeX Ports of
Gateway Switches, to the myEoIB partition:
# smpartition add -n myEoIB -port port_guid1 port_guid2 bridgex_port1
bridgex_port2
Where port_guid1, port_guid2, bridgex_port1, and bridgex_port2 are
the ports that you want to add to the partition. This command example shows a
few port entries only. You can add as many ports as necessary. An example port
value is 0021280001cef8e3.
10.
Run the following command to view the changed partition configuration:
# smpartition list modified
This command displays the new partition with its pkey, ports added to the
partition, and membership type.
11.
Run the following command to confirm the partition configuration:
# smpartition commit
The myEoIB partition with 0x005 pkey is created.
12.
Log in to the gateway switch interface as root, and run the following commands:
# createvlan 1A-ETH-3 -vlan 10 -pkey 0x005
Where 1A-ETH-3 is the Ethernet connector on the gateway switch, 10 is the
VLAN identifier, and 0x005 is the partition key that you created earlier.
13.
To verify, run the following command:
# showvlan
The following information is displayed:
Connector/LAG VLN PKEY
-------------- --- -----
1A-ETH-3 10 0x005
0A-ETH-1 11 ffff
14.
As root, log in to el01gw04 that you identified in Step 4. Use its IP address or
host name to log in.
15.
Upon login, run the following command to create a VNIC:
# createvnic 1A-ETH-3 -GUID 00212856d0a2c0a0 -mac a2:c0:a0:a8:01:01 -vlan 10 -
pkey 0x005
Where 1A-ETH-3 is the Ethernet connector, 00:21:28:56:d0:a2:c0:a0 is the
GUID, a2:c0:a0:a8:01:01 is the dummy MAC address defined in Step 4, 10 is
the VLAN identifier, and 0x005 is the partition key that you created earlier.
This example creates a VNIC, such as eth4 (on Oracle Linux) or eoib0 (on
Oracle Solaris) associated with VLAN 10 associated with a partition with 0x005
as the pkey.
16.
Run the following command to verify the VNICs:
# showvnics
