Hi all,
I've been pulling my hair out over this one since friday, and still haven't
found why it doesn't work.
I am trying to configure IPMP on two V445's with Solaris 10 11/06 with all the
latest patches up until today. I have 8 interfaces on each machine, 4 fibre
(e1000g0-3), 4 copper (bge0-3). The configuration should be for failover of
interfaces. My intended configuration will be e1000g0 and e1000g2 as one
group to face the internet, e1000g1 and e1000e3 as the second group (or
individually) for an interchange for a failover cluster, bge0 and 1 as a
third group, and bge2 and 3 as the fourth group. That's the plan...
During system installation, there was only one fibre interface connected,
e1000g2, which I configured. The remaining interfaces were connected to our
switches last week. The first problem is I can't get this configuration to
change. I want to set up e1000g0 as the primary interface, and e1000g2 as
the failover. Despite all entries in /etc/machinename.e1000g(0-3), the
system after reboots seems to completely ignore all entries there. I've
tried replumbing, ifconfig manually, and following the instructions in the
sun manual "System Administration Guide. IP Services" part number
816-4554-13, pages 94-95, 98-102, and in the IPMP chapter, pages 659-670.
In my configuration files in /etc, I have the following (the machine's name is
wallaby):
/etc/wallaby.e1000g0
149.148.224.112
netmask + broadcast + group globalnet up
/etc/wallaby.e1000g1
192.168.1.10
netmask + broadcast + group interchange up
/etc/wallaby.e1000g2
192.168.1.2
netmask + broadcast + deprecated group globalnet -failover standby up
/etc/wallaby.e1000g3
192.168.1.11
netmask + broadcast + deprecated group interchange -failover standby up
/etc/wallaby6.e1000g0
/etc/wallaby6.e1000g1
-failover group globalnet standby up
wallaby:~# dladm show-link
bge0 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: bge0
bge1 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: bge1
e1000g0 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g0
e1000g1 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g1
bge2 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: bge2
bge3 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: bge3
e1000g2 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g2
e1000g3 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g3
For the remainder of the IPMP configuration, I've tried plumbing the
interfaces manually, setting groups, which seems to get noticed in the
configuration at least. After reboot, everything is gone and I'm back to the
old e1000g2 interface only :-(
Does anyone have any idea how I can get this configuration working? As far as
I have seen from the manuals, what I have should work... If I've left out
any information, please tell me.
thanks and regards
Markus
