I'm inclined to agree, especially if you are not creating a separate service domain. Of course, I'd rather do link aggregation at the control domain level as well, which removes the whole IPMP configuration scheme. BTW, IPMP has changed significantly in Solaris 11 and is easier to configure. What I'm really waiting for is Crossbow integration with LDoms where we'll be able to control IPQoS and bandwidth usage on VNICs.

T5220 - Have IPMP configured in the service domain (domain controller/primary) create vnics from the physical NIC and give the VNICS to the LDOMS. LDOMS are the global zones which then IPMP together the vnics for the global. Then send vnics down to each zone "exclusive IP" and IPMP the vnics together inside the zones. 4 LDOMS each with 4 Zones each with two nics. 10 vnics per LDOM. > If you have one service domain with both interfaces, > do the IPMP there.
