Its fixed bakunin. Actually its not allowing us to configure the same interface used for SEA to configure IP for the VIO server.. Created one more virtual Ethernet and used it for assigning IP.
Thanks

Hi all,
I set up the following configuration on my system:
- An LPar with a virtual adapter, first one with a vlan id=703 and id port=13.
- The first adapter have to connect to a VIOS in which i configured an SEA.
So, the VA is set up on interface ent2, SEA on ent29 (by linking a... (0 Replies)

I am trying to install a VIOS pair with a load-sharing SEA adapter, following this recipe from Developerworks. Without load-sharing everything went fine and worked as expected, but somehow i am a bit lost and the first tries with "ha_mode=sharing" didn't work at all.

Hello,
Lets say for simplicity that I do not use any vlan config inside my server - one lpar group use hea physical port1, another group hea physical port2. Physical port1 configured as vlan1 on external switch, physical port2 as vlan2.

epair
EPAIR(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual EPAIR(4)
NAME
epair -- A pair of virtual back-to-back connected Ethernet interfaces
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device epair
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_epair_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The epair is a pair of Ethernet-like software interfaces, which are connected back-to-back with a virtual cross-over cable.
Each epair interface pair is created at runtime using interface cloning. This is most easily done with the ifconfig(8) create command or
using the cloned_interfaces variable in rc.conf(5). While for cloning you only give either epair or epair<n> the epair pair will be named
like epair<n>[ab]. This means the names of the first epair interfaces will be epair0a and epair0b.
Like any other Ethernet interface, an epair needs to have a network address. Each epair will be assigned a locally administered address by
default, that is only guaranteed to be unique within one network stack. To change the default addresses one may use the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2)
or ifconfig(8) utility.
The basic intend is to provide connectivity between two virtual network stack instances. When connected to a if_bridge(4) one end of the
interface pair can also be part of another (virtual) LAN. As with any other Ethernet interface one can configure vlan(4) support on top of
it.
