3.3.2 Deleting a virtual NIC in a Solaris Zones environment

3.3.2.1 Exclusive-IP zones

The following describes how to delete a virtual NIC in the Solaris Zones environment using the configuration in "3.2.2.1 Exclusive-IP zones" as an example:

1. Deleting an IP address in an exclusive-IP zone
   If an IP interface remains, delete the IP interface on the virtual NIC with the ipadm delete-ip command after logging in to the exclusive-IP zone with the zlogin command. This is because the virtual NIC cannot be deleted with the rvnetadm command.

   Example: When logging in to the exclusive-IP zone "zone0" and delete the IP interface generated in the virtual NIC "fjvnet0"

   # zlogin zone0                               <- Login to zone0.
   # ipadm delete-ip fjvnet0                    <- Delete the IP interface on fjvnet0.

   See

   For details on the ipadm(1M) command, see the Solaris manual.

2. Stopping the exclusive-IP zone
   Stop the exclusive-IP zone.

   See

   For details on how to stop it, see the Solaris manual.

3. Deleting the network setting in the exclusive-IP zone
   Remove the assignment of the virtual NIC to the exclusive-IP zone with the zonecfg command.

   Example: When removing the assignment of the virtual NIC "fjvnet0" for the exclusive-IP zone "zone0."

   # zonecfg -z zone0                           <- Begin configuring zone0.
   zonecfg:zone0> remove net physical=fjvnet0   <- Specify a virtual NIC interface.
   zonecfg:zone0> verify                        <- Check setup consistency.
   zonecfg:zone0> commit                        <- Register the setting.
   zonecfg:zone0> exit                          <- Complete the zone setting.

   See

   For details on the zonecfg(1M) command, see the Solaris manual.

4. Disabling a network monitoring function
   Disable a network monitoring function with the rvnetadm stop-observ command.

   # /opt/FJSVrvnet/bin/rvnetadm stop-observ

   See

   For details on the rvnetadm command, see "A.1 rvnetadm command."

5. Deleting a virtual NIC
   Delete a virtual NIC on the global zone with the rvnetadm delete command.

   Example: When deleting the virtual NIC "fjvnet0"

   # /opt/FJSVrvnet/bin/rvnetadm delete -n fjvnet0

   See

   For details on the rvnetadm command, see "A.1 rvnetadm command."

3.3.2.2 Kernel Zones

The following describes how to delete a virtual NIC in the Kernel Zones environment using the configuration in "3.2.2.2 Kernel Zones" as an example:

1. Deleting an IP interface in a Kernel Zone
   If an IP interface remains, delete the IP interface on the virtual NIC with the ipadm delete-ip command after logging in to the Kernel Zone with the zlogin command. This is because the virtual NIC cannot be deleted with the rvnetadm command.

   Example: When logging in to the Kernel Zone "zone0" to delete the IP interface that was generated in the NIC "net0" connected to the virtual NIC "fjvnet0."

   # zlogin zone0                               <- Log in to zone0.
   # ipadm delete-ip net0                       <- Delete the IP interface on net0.

   See

   For details on the ipadm(1M) command, see the Solaris manual.

2. Stopping the Kernel Zone
   Stop the Kernel Zone.

   See

   For details on how to stop it, see the Solaris manual.

3. Deleting the network setting of the Kernel Zone
   Remove the assignment of the virtual NIC to the Kernel Zone with the zonecfg command.

   Example: When canceling to assign the virtual NIC "fjvnet0" for the Kernel Zone "zone0."

   # zonecfg -z zone0                           <- Start the zone setting of zone0.
   zonecfg:zone0> remove net physical=fjvnet0   <- Specify the virtual NIC interface.
   zonecfg:zone0> verify                        <- Check integrity.
   zonecfg:zone0> commit                        <- Register a zone.
   zonecfg:zone0> exit                          <- Zone setting is completed.

   See

   For details on the zonecfg(1M) command, see the Solaris manual.

4. Disabling a network monitoring function
   Disable a network monitoring function with the rvnetadm stop-observ command.

   # /opt/FJSVrvnet/bin/rvnetadm stop-observ

   See

   For details on the rvnetadm command, see "A.1 rvnetadm command."

5. Deleting a virtual NIC
   Delete the virtual NIC on the global zone with the rvnetadm delete command.

   Example: when deleting the virtual NIC "fjvnet0"

   # /opt/FJSVrvnet/bin/rvnetadm delete -n fjvnet0

   See

   For details on the rvnetadm command, see "A.1 rvnetadm command."
