Why would you need to disable DHCP? I normally would say, never use DHCP on a unix-like linux-like server ... but since DHCP makes your life easier, you would be the exception to the rule. So ... DHCP should work fine for you. It is not incompatible with link aggregation. I said this once before, but it bears repeating: Since your LACP is on, check the error counter on your network interface. I'm not sure what the right command would be in opensolaris or solaris, because all my error counters are 0 so I'm not sure which one would be rising if any were rising. I believe the right command is "netstat -i" or "netstat -ia" but I also tried "netstat -s | grep -i error" Then, put your system under load. Get at least 2 clients out there (assuming you have 2 ethernet ports bonded together) and maximize both of them, utilizing the system to its fullest. And watch your error counter. If your error counter is rising ... check it once every 15 seconds, or once a minute ... If it's rising, revert to a single line. The error packets cause elusive annoying problems, that are ridiculously difficult to pinpoint, and IMHO, not acceptable for production usage. In production, your error packets should remain zero (or at least unchanging) for months at a time. As evidenced that my counters are all 0. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
