Modifying a VM to Attach to a VLAN
# oakcli modify vm ol6test -addnetwork oda90
You're also able to add a VLAN to your ODA_BASE virtual machine. Listing 10-26 shows how. There you see the
oakcli configure
command being issued. Then you see the interaction triggered by the command. You'll be asked
several questions. Respond by giving the correct values for your environment.

It is very important to have VLANs on both nodes if the shared repository option is used. This allows VM failover
to work seamlessly.
Patching a Virtualized ODA
The patching process for a virtualized ODA is no different than the process for a bare-metal ODA. The unified
patching does not support patching User VMs. The patch includes patches only for the ODA_BASE and the dom0.
Any patching for User VMs is the responsibility of the administrator of the User VM.
Summary
Chapter 10 focused on the virtualization of the ODA. It only scratched the surface of the possibilities that are
available with virtualization on the ODA. This includes OVM and the customization made for it to work on the ODA.
ODA_BASE creation and the exclusive access it has to the shared disks to ensure performance is kept intact. We
discussed the process to get a User VM up and running and looked at some of the advanced options that are available
on the ODA. As the software evolves, so will the availability of options on and the customization of the ODA in the
virtualization space.
