Oracle Virtual Networking (OVN) family of products provides another way to establish network and storage connectivity in the Oracle Solaris Cluster environment:
OVN vNICs can be used for constructing the cluster interconnect, and as public network interfaces.
OVN vNICs can also be used to connect supported iSCSI and NFS storage as cluster shared storage.
OVN vHBAs can be used to connect to supported Fibre Channel connected shared storage.
The private virtual interface (PVI) VNIC functionality of Oracle SDN can be used for the cluster interconnect or public network. PVI is supported only with Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 SRU 3.
Clusters of Oracle VM Server for SPARC guest domains as cluster nodes is supported.
These guest domains must use vnet and vdisk devices exported from service domains (single or redundant), backed by OVN vNIC (on Ethernet and PVI) and OVN vHBA. This guest-domain configuration is supported only with Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 SRU 3.
