In this post, I will discuss with you one of the most interesting error which I am facing when I boot the local zone on Solaris 11.3. The description of this interesting issue as describe below.
Description of error:
!-[solaris]# zoneadm -z sun01 boot
zone 'sun01': error: net0: failed to create VNIC: operation not supported
zoneadm: zone sun01: call to zoneadmd(1M) failed: zoneadmd(1M
I have try to create and configure the VNIC on Solaris 11.3 operating server but it get failed with the same error.
!-[solaris]#dladm create-vnic -l net0 vnic01
dladm: vnic creation failed: operation not supported
If you are also facing a such error while booting the local zone on solaris 11 server, then please use the below solution to resolve such issues.
Solution of error:
➥ This error "failed to create VNIC: operation not supported" would normally come when there are not enough mac addresses to assign to the zone. So now we need to add alternate mac addresses to the network interface.So before adding the new mac address we will stop LDM.
!-[solaris]#ldm list-domain
NAME STATE FLAGS CONS VCPU MEMORY UTIL NORM UPTIME
primary active -n-cv- UART 8 8G 2.0% 2.0% 41d 20h 14m
0004fb0000060000ff1d3d8336112f6f active -n---- 5001 50 64G 0.1% 0.1% 18h 23m
➥ Now log in to the Solaris global zone and check if net0 have additional MAC addresses or not. Please use the below command to check the status.
!-[solaris]# dladm show-phys -m
LINK SLOT ADDRESS INUSE CLIENT
net0 primary 0:21:f6:d6:d3:e5 yes net0
1 0:14:4f:f9:6d:8d no --
2 0:14:4f:fb:10:2b no --
3 0:14:4f:f9:41:d6 no --
4 0:14:4f:f8:dd:c8 no --
net1 primary 0:21:f6:51:be:4d yes net1
➥ Now zone will start without any issue, as we have assigned the new mac address to this zone.
!-[solaris]# zoneadm -z sun01 start
Please let me know if you are facing any issue regarding this error.
