Goal

You have a specific configuration you would like to implement within the Exalogic Virtual environment:

Physically you require to have:

Connection 0A (SW-Infiniband)
  Prod ETH1
  QA ETH2
  Dev ETH3

Or also the following alternative:
Connection 0A (SW-Infiniband)
  Prod ETH1
  Dev-QA ETH2

You need to have the Prod, QA and Dev environments separated on different interfaces on your network through a cable MPO to LC.

You understand that it is physically feasible, but require to do it through Exalogic (Virtual).

Solution

Configuring separate VLANs across separate 10Gb links is not possible. You can configure one VLAN or even multiple VLANs across any number of 10Gb links, and the software will select a random "up" link to configure the VNIC on.

In either case, you need to have ALL of your 10Gb Cisco ports configured like:

interface Ethernet1/1
  description ***ExaLogic Gateway Switch 1***
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1234,5678,0910

interface Ethernet1/2
  description ***ExaLogic Gateway Switch 2***
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 1234,5678,0910
...

where 1234 is EoIB mgt, 5678 is EoIB app vlan 1, and 0910 is EoIB app vlan 2.


If you want to connect the new ports and add them to the already existing VLAN in the Exalogic control all you have to do is:

• Connect the port to client's switch
• Create VLAN in the new ports in infiniband gateways
• Run the createvlan for the new VLAN links, after running 'listlinkup' to make sure the link is up first. Ops Center should then create any new vnics on any one of the "up" links for that VLAN. Remember to this on all switches.
