• The example assumes that the host operating system is a RHEL version 7 or 8 compatible Linux system. If you use a different host operating system version, you must adapt the example accordingly.
• As explained for AWS, remember that any automatically assigned public IP addresses will be removed by the cloud provider once the instance is restarted with a second NIC. Hence, on AWS Elastic IP addresses must be used.
• For Google cloud, note the following:
  
  • The default is that all interfaces are configured with IP addresses automatically by GCP services on the Linux host. Please refer to the Network Management section in the respective Getting Started guide for information on how to disable this automatic configuration.
  • Some base images used to create a Charon host instance may be configured to use /32 netmasks for additional interfaces, and only ARP requests for the default gateway are answered by Google. This can cause communication problems between Solaris and other instances on the same subnet (ARP requests are not answered). The workaround is to use static ARP entries on Solaris. Please refer to the Getting Started guide for more information. Current images provided by Stromasys use /24 netmasks, so this point does not apply to them.
• The interface names used in this example (eth0 and eth1) may be different on your system. Please verify the names on your system and refer your cloud provider's documentation for more detail. Make sure you use the correct names!
• The example uses only a private address for the dedicated interface. If a public address is required, the basic steps for making the interface available to the guest system are the same.

Host for Use by the Solaris Guest

The host system interface configuration must ensure that the private IP address allocated to the new interface by the cloud provider is not configured on the Linux Ethernet interface. This address will be used by the guest system.
