Well, I don't have architecture decisions on the VLANs so this is probably a non-starter, at least for the production cluster. We may be able to retrofit this after testing on the next cluster. > I am not sure why you're running the interconnects nxge2/nxge3 directly to > the LDOMs, I guess you're using them for VCS heartbeats?

I haven't set it up yet. I will be doing a test with this configuration the next LDOM cluster I stand up, for testing. > If you do have 4 physical network connections and you want to run IPMP and > heartbeat links > on them you'll have to run VLAN tagging on nxge0/1 so you can push both your > old and new > network on the same physical links and just configure the LDOM's to use the > needed tagged VLAN. Ok. I'm not familiar with VLAN tagging, but this may be something we can try. Got a config I could look at? > Otherwise you'll need 6 physical NIC's, 2 for IPMP new network, 2 for IPMP > old network and 2 for interconnects/heartbeat links... I thought that might be the case.
