Hello, I'm looking for advice about redundant NIC setup, specifically avoiding single point of failure at the switch. I did see the wiki page on link aggregations. We use non-stacking switches, which means that all members would need to connect to the same switch.
Solaris' DLMP fits the bill but it was introduced only in 11.1. It seems that IPMP could work but not in the global zone (or at least not in a way that would benefit the local zones). Every non-global zone would need its own IPMP setup, which is a bit messy & also wasteful in terms of probe traffic. Am I missing anything or are these our options? Is there anything else in the pipe? Also, how to best separate interfaces from a security point of view? I think it would be safest to reserve the management network for LOMs. Would there be any additional benefit to separating the global zone from the local ones? I mean, if a zone is already compromised, would a separate NIC or VLAN add any real security? On a dual NIC server, it wouldn't be a small sacrifice. Thanks! ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
