On OpenSolaris 2009.06 I created a flow, half a dozen VNICs, and I set some properties, and everything was working, then I rebooted my system and everything disappeared from show-vnic, show-flow, and show-prop. When I tried to re-create the objects, dladm said they already existed. While I could not see the objects, I could delete them. Example: # dladm sh...

...d MAC address of my physical nic? The bge device in my system (x2100) appears to support 4 MAC addresses. The driver reserves the first as the ''primary/default'' address and allows manipulation of the other three via the MAC_CAPAB_MULTIADDRESS interface. I''d like to use vnics on this system, as I have Xen guest domains and will match a vnic with each domain. Presuming that it''s no longer appropriate to plumb ''bge0'' under IP (given that I''ll want to also use the physical nic to create vnics) I''m struggling to figure out how I...

Using OpenSolaris 2008.11 build 110. Created vnic''s and etherstub''s and they are displayed using dladm show-links but when the server is rebooted a ''dladm show-link'' is empty although the vnic and etherstub devices are still there and function properly. That is a real inconvenience, so why do the no longer show after a reboot or shutdown/start? Is there a

Howdy, I just installed the crossbow snapshot from opensolaris.org, and bumped into an issue when attempting to create a virtual nic: $ dladm create-vnic -i 192.168.1.101 -d ni0 2 dladm: VNIC creation failed: No such file or directory (unknown diagnostic) When I truss the process, it looks like it''s failing when attempting to open the vnic pseudo-device: 100878/1:

I opened a bug report earlier today but it doesn''t seem to have been added to the bugs database. I''m posting here in case one of the Crossbow developers might see it and confirm this behavior. Description Duplicate packets are generated whenever an aggregate is introduced into the network configuration. We''ve ruled out switch ports and physical bge interfaces as

Following is a short description on assigning priorities to a link (via dladm). Flows will have a similar mechanism (via flowadm). thanks, -venu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The components associated with a link or flow, such as Soft Ring Sets, Soft Rings and squeues, have kernel threads processing inbound/outbound packets. The scheduler

Hi, Is there any way to add VNIC to the domU? # virsh attach-interface mydomU network myvnic1 # libvir: XML error : missing source information for device myvnic1 It''s SXCE105. -- Regards, Piotr Jasiukajtis | estibi | SCA OS0072 http://estseg.blogspot.com

No, they would not be in promiscuous mode. The VNIC''s would be in promiscuous mode only if a DLPI application enables it using dlpi_promiscon() with DL_PROMISC_PHYS flag. So, we do not register VNIC''s promiscuous ca...

Folks, I just posted an updated Crossbow virtualization architecture document. The new revision is available at: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/Docs/crossbow-virt.pdf The main changes are the addition of support for multiple MAC addresses per client, and an explicit separation between consolidation private and project private MAC API entry points. See in particular the

Hi, all I want to get some information of How xVM is integrated with Crossbow project. Do some buddies have those documents or blogs? Thanks --luke

...in my current project to support multiple co-located zones on the same VLAN. Our current deployment OS is Solaris 10 Update 4. I''d like to use exclusive IP zones, but I gather the only way to currently have multiple exclusive zones with interfaces on the same VLAN is through the use of VNICs. From my initial look at S10u4, it seems VNIC support been not yet been integrated into that release. Is this correct? Thanks - Andres

Hi the Crossbow team, I am testing my UV fastpath bits and I found several issues that need your suggestion: 1. dladm show-usage won''t work if UV fastpath is enabled. Since the link usage data are collected based on the statistics of the mac_client_impl_t, and UV fastpath skips the GLDv3 processing, that won''t be available. I don''t see a solution for this except

Hi Folks, I have a snv_105 sxce host that I just can''t get to work as expected with crossbow + zones. My test host persephone, is a virtual machine running under VMware ESXi 3.5, with 2 virtual network cards (e1000), all on the same flat network/subnet. It started life just 2 days ago with a clean install of snv_95, and I LUed to 105 yesterday. To rule out any sharing issue, the first

1 simple question about network statistics for vnics: We noticed that the statistics for vnics (used by Virtualbox guests) are not there. When the nics are plumped in the host OS, we do see them showing up, but all all records are 0. Can someone tell me how to get the correct network info via snmp on the Vbox Host?? Thanks in advance.

I decided to take a stab at 6601421 dladm set-linkprop should support multiple -p options along with some related linkprop fixes, but when I looked into dladm.c, was surprised to find that "dladm_parse_props()" is called from do_create_aggr and do_create_vlan in addition to the expected (by me, at least) do_create_vnic *linkprop functions. What happened here? Why do we pass in

Hi All, I have bfu''ed to net-virt_xb-21_snv_81_021308. The dladm command on my machine does not have create-etherstub option. Please let me know what could be the issue. Thanks Khushal
