HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration

NOTE: Guest VLANs and VLAN-backed vswitches are not supported with VIO.
OpenVMS guests that are created (hpvmcreate) or modified (hpvmmodify) to add and use a
non-physical vswitch must use the same vswitch by name for each OpenVMS guest. The following
scenarios fail:
• Attempting to start an OpenVMS guest that is using two different localnet vswitches on the
same guest.
• Using a different localnet vswitch than an already active OpenVMS guest is using.
For information about VLANs on HP-UX, see the HP-UX VLAN Administrator's Guide for HP-UX
11i v3 and Planning and Implementing VLANs with HP-UX manual.
7.4.3.1 Creating and Managing a vswitch with a VLAN Interface
To illustrate how to create and manage a vswitch with a VLAN interface, assume that your
system has physical and aggregate interfaces as shown by the following format:
Name/ Interface Station Sub- Interface Related
ClassInstance State Address system Type Interface
============== ========= ============== ======== ============== =========
lan0 UP 0x0017A4AB5461 igelan 1000Base-T
lan1 UP 0x0017A4AB5460 igelan 1000Base-T
lan2 UP 0x001A4B06E90A iether 1000Base-T
lan3 UP 0x001A4B06E90B iether 1000Base-T lan900
lan900 UP 0x001A4B06E90B hp_apa hp_apa
lan901 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan902 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan903 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan904 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
To configure a PPA of the VLAN interface (VPPA) with a VLAN ID = 20 on the lan900 aggregate,
enter the following:
# nwmgr -a -S vlan -A vlanid=20, ppa=900
VLAN interface lan5000 successfully configured.
lan5000 current values:
VPPA = 5000
Related PPA = 900
VLAN ID = 20
VLAN Name = UNNAMED

To create, boot and display a vswitch bound to VLAN lan5000, enter the following:
# hpvmnet -c -S vs5020 -n 5000
# hpvmnet -b -S vs5020
# hpvmnet -S vs5020
