Change: Here it's assumed that there is at least one management VLAN, say Vlan 100. Note that many sites use another dedicated physical interface for management. Whatever way it's done, it is strongly suggested to secure and segregate the host (Xen dom0) management access. In this example, VLAN100 View changes from previous version. (Word count: 105)

Change: Oracle VM Server Configuration- bonded and trunked network interfacesOracle VM Server Configuration- multipathed SAN storageConfigure NetworkingThis will probably have to be accomplished via the system's console - or a kickstart installation file (not covered in this wiki page), as these actions are likely to drop network connectivity.

Change: Note: when configuring virtual machines, they will now be attached to the "vlan###" bridge, and not the generic "xenbr###" interfaces (who will no longer be created once this process is complete).As previously discussed, we are using operating system tools to View changes from previous version.

Change: to configure networking at virtual machine initialization time via /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this method, it is more difficult to scale and View changes from previous version. (Word count: 730)

Change: We assume that VLANs are shared between all relevant switches via an inter-switch link of some sorts. Not sure about this? Ask your network people. These configurations generally only function with managed switches.The VM hosts will be connected to one switch with 2 or View changes from previous version. (Word count: 159)
