I think unplumbing is not good method for testing. Because when you unplumb virtual interface is created on second interface and primary's IP is attached that virtual on 2ndary & at the same time primary interface virtual interface will go away. that means at this stage primary interface without any logical(virtual interfaces) and secondary interface with one virtual interface which has primary's IP. Now when you plumb primary interface as per IPMP config it would create Primary Interface + one Virtual interface with 0.0.0.0 as IP. At this point you could unplumb that virtual interface. so that when you failover from 2ndary to primary you'll see only one logical otherwise if you don't unplumb virtual when failover happens from 2ndary, since already primary has one logical. it would create new virtual interface on primary and gives IP address to that.
best methods I follow for IPMP testing are. 1. Unplug the cable ton primary ( 1st to 2nd) 2. when you connect the cable back.everything should come back on primary again. 3.If you can't unplug the cable Use if_mpadm -d <interface> # This will disable the interface that means it should failover to other interfaces in that group. for re-enable use if_mpadm -r <interface> -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
