Hi,

My machine is a T4-4. igb0,igb1,igb2,igb3 on the T4 are all physically connected on the same network via a physical switch. The control domain has an AI server installed using net0 (igb0) of the server. The AI client is an LDOM on the same T4-4 who's primary interface is a virtual interface (vnet0) attached to a virtual switch (vsw0) and the virtual switch is attached to net0.

The AI install is not using DHCP, its OBP boot arguments (network-boot-arguments) point to the AI server directly.

The problem:

In the above configuration the AI Client LDOM takes ~15 minutes to pull over the wanboot fs and the wanboot miniroot, but all other network interactions work as expected. (AI miniroot download, AI installation etc).

This extremely long wanboot load time does _not_ occur if the AI client LDOM has a physical interface attached to it (e.g. igb2) or if the vnet is attached to a virtual switch hanging off one of the other igb interfaces (e.g. igb1).
I am seeing something similar. In my case, download of wanbootfs is quick but downloading the AI boot_archive is really really slow. What is the OBP version ?

Sun System Firmware 8.2.0.a 2012/05/11 07:34
OBP 4.34.0 2012/04/30 14:26

Upgrading to:
 Sun System Firmware 8.2.0.f 2012/07/09 22:11
OBP 4.34.0 2012/04/30 14:26

Note the change in system firmware.
