Hi all,

Currently i'm evaluating opensolaris in a new server hardware , a Dell
R710 with 2 Quad-Cores and 16Gb Ram ECC and i have a weird problem that
i would like to address it here.
So basically the server has four internal network cards , Broadcom
NetXtreme II BCM5709 connect to a gigabit switch.
In the server i configured an aggregation link to test the
load-balancing/fail-over of the interfaces with the commands :

ifconfig bnx2 unplumb
ifconfig bnx3 unplumb

dladm create-aggr -P L2,L3 -l bnx2 -l bnx3 1
ifconfig aggr1 plumb 10.10.37.152 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

And so far so good, no problems found.
I started my tests with opensolaris 2009.06 and i upgraded to build 129,
130, 131,132 to test if everything works as it should.
This server has a NFS share exported to Xen Server where i have 2 vm's
running, where one vm is a windows 2003 and the other is a linux 2.6
kernel. This vm's have low usage since this is a test environment.
All builds except snv_132 work fine, while in snv_132 after some random
time i see the following messages in the /var/adm/messages file :

snv132 mac: [ID 736570 kern.info] NOTICE: aggr1 unregistered
snv132 in.routed[487]: [ID 702693 daemon.warning] write(rt_sock)
RTM_ADD    0.0.0.0         -->172.16.1.253    metric=1
snv132 in.routed[487]: [ID 588247 daemon.warning] interface bnx2 to
10.10.37.152 broken: in=0 ierr=120 out=0 oerr=0

The 172.16.1.253 is the default gw of the system, since bnx0 has an ip
172.16.1.152 .
I already swap network cables, connected them to different switch port,
different switch, and i also reboot the server and the switch several
times. I also tried to different aggregation modes with the commands :

dladm create-aggr -P L2 -l bnx2 -l bnx3 1
dladm create-aggr -P L3 -l bnx2 -l bnx3 1
dladm create-aggr -P L4 -l bnx2 -l bnx3 1

and the results are consistent, everything works fine except in snv_132.

Am i missing something or it maybe the fact that snv_132 has some
problems with aggregation, broadcom II bcm5709 , etc?

Thank you for all your time and patience,

Bruno Sousa
