Create a Partition for EoIB and Associating the pkey with a VNIC and VLAN
Run the following command to add port GUIDs and BridgeX ports, which you

noted down in
Gateway
# 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.
Run the following command to view the changed partition configuration:
10.
# smpartition list modified
This command displays the new partition with its pkey, ports added to the
partition, and membership type.
Run the following command to confirm the partition configuration:
11.
# smpartition commit
The myEoIB partition with 0x005 pkey is created.
Log in to the gateway switch interface as root, and run the following commands:
12.
# 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.
To verify, run the following command:
13.
# showvlan
The following information is displayed:
Connector/LAG
--------------
1A-ETH-3
0A-ETH-1
As root, log in to el01gw04 that you identified in Step 4. Use its IP address or
14.
host name to log in.
Upon login, run the following command to create a VNIC:
15.
# 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.
Run the following command to verify the VNICs:
16.
# showvnics
