The following networks and VLANs were used in the lab for this Oracle Linux KVM solution:
Table 3. PowerFlex networking details at host level
Network name | Description |
Bond0 (p2p1, p3p1) | Management and VM Traffic |
Bond1 (p3p2, p2p2) | PowerFlex data traffic (SDS and SDC) |
Table 4. Oracle Linux KVM networking details at VM level
Network name | VLAN | Description |
ovirtmgmt | 105 | Management Network |
Privatevlan106 | 106 | Private vlan for Oracle private interconnect |
VM_Network | 100 | Client Oracle network |
Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager supports adding multiple logical networks to physical NICs on the Oracle Linux KVM node, including those with VLAN tagging. As VLANs are an essential component of the PowerFlex architecture, the steps for adding a new logical network with VLAN tagging for the Oracle interconnect are included here.
