For zones, I've always create vnics over a physical interface. To date,
the physical port did not have VLAN tagging. Given my server only has
two physical ports and I want to bring in another network, I decided to
try to configure VLAN tagging...
I shutdown all my zones and deleted all my existing vnics. Then I
created two vlans over the physical interface:
# dladm create-vlan -l nge1 -v 2 nge1.vlan2
# dladm create-vlan -l nge1 -v 4 nge1.vlan4
Usually the physical interface I create vnics over is both "plumbed" and
"up", so...
# ifconfig nge1.vlan2 plumb up
# ifconfig nge1.vlan4 plumb up
But now when I try to create a vnic, passing in the vlan interface, I
get this error:
# dladm create-vnic -l nge1.vlan2 vnic0
dladm: vnic creation over nge1.vlan2 failed: invalid argument
I've also tried to create the zone using the vlan instead of a vnic:
# cat test-zone.cfg
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/test
set brand=ipkg
set autoboot=false
set ip-type=exclusive
add net
set physical=nge1.vlan4
end
# zonecfg -z test-zone -f test-zone.cfg
# zoneadm -z test-zone install
WARNING: skipping network interface 'nge1.vlan4' which is used in the
global zone.
It goes on to install the zone, but when I try to boot it, I get:
# zoneadm -z test-zone boot
WARNING: skipping network interface 'nge1.vlan4' which is used in the
global zone.
zone 'test-zone': WARNING: skipping network interface 'nge1.vlan4'
which is used in the global zone
zone 'test-zone': failed to add network device: Error 0
zoneadm: zone 'test-zone': call to zoneadmd failed
I've tried bringing the interface down and unplumbing it, but still
nothing works...
I notice that Solaris 11 has a "modify-vlan" subcommand that is missing
in illumos - is this needing to make this work? - is there any other
way to have zones over vlans?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kent
