Hi,

For a PoC we're running with LDOMs 1.3 and LDOMs 2.0 I have some questions that hopefully someone can help me with. We're using Solaris 10 9/10 (u9) for control/service domain and guest domains.

1. Does the vswitch participate in Spanning-tree?
  If yes, can this be disabled?
  Any differences for LDOMs 1.3 and 2.0 here?
No idea, I never observed spanning- tree behaviour of vswitches


2. How can the bandwidth that a VNIC consumes be limited?
  (Case: we're creating multiple non-global zones in 1 LDOM guest and
  want to prevent that one non-global zone can take up all bandwidth for a
  single VNIC).
OTOH no way to do this in an I/O domain only without Crossbow. 


3. How can we configure "IP Multipathing" for the vswitch with LDOMs 1.3?
  I know LDOMs 2.0 has this capability...
Question: do you want to connect a guest redundantly to the outside world or do you want to connect whole vswitch redundantly to the outside world?


4. Using VLAN tagging on the vswitch, van I assign one VLAN to a VNIC in a
  guest domain? So that there's a VLAN between the vswitch and the guest,
  accessible as a VNIC from the guest?
Yes. IIRC possible since v1.2, described in the slides on LDOMs under https://sunspace.sfbay.sun.com/x/c9VnDg (sorry only accessible from the Oracle intranet)


Any hints, pointers, best practices or other useful info is appreciated!

Thanks in advance, regards,
