"A sun tech told me that I have to have the ip addresses on different subnets and that it is not reliable with both of them on the same subnet."
In the subject line you state IPMP are you really setting up Solaris IPMP for those two NICs? It has a how other set of configuration. If so I think you will get a better answer to your question over on the Networking Forum, http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=3. You will probably need to re-state the problem a little since they won't likely be experts on iSCSI. If your not using IPMP and just trying to leverage -c <ip>,<ip> the iSCSI driver does attempt to bind based on these IPs although Solaris doesn't support hard bindings, which is what a lot of customers really expect in Storage. Instead your TCP connections are still heavily influenced by the routing tables so you need to tweak those to make this work 100% of the time. If you have the option to create a dladm aggr with your two NICs it's a much easier solution to the problem your solving, since both NIC are on the same subnet you can just place them in a aggr for increase bandwidth and stability. (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2240/6n4htdn3r?l=en&a=view). Although a couple years ago this was not possible with CE NICs. I'm not sure if they have resolved that yet.
