ACE Module Routed design

Question

Hi all,
I have a requirement to install 2 ACE Modules into two 6509 chassis'
We want to run the ACE modules in a live/live scenario so we can utilise the two ACE modules
So we want to split the VIPS so we have some live on one ACE and others on the other.
Also the ACE modules will be setup in routed mode. We have a number of subnets we want to use on the client side - 3 to be exact, and there will be another 3 different subnets on the server side
A few points which are confusing me
For each subnet would i have to configure a SVI? And if so you can only have 1 SVI per contect so that would mean creating a context and a SVI for each subnet?
Are there any example configs which could help me out?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
James

See the config example here:

Normally you only need one client-side subnet per context, but multiple ones work too.
You'd create an SVI on MSFC for the client-side subnets only, otherwise server traffic would bypass the ACE.
Also keep in mind when you do active/active, it's done on the context level.
That means you need to create at least two contexts in addition to the Admin context. (although you can technically run things in /Admin)
Go through the example above, and the config guides below and you'll be all set:
