The following is my experience with Solaris 10 (things change in Solaris 11).
There is dladm (dynamic link aggregation) that can create LACP links (none-LACP works only in rare conditions). Has strange defaults, e.g. LACPtimer=short (is only reliable if both links are connected to one LAN switch). dladm creates interface names aggr1,aggr2,... with one MAC address and hides the bonded interfaces, so applications don't see them. This aggregate-type is always all-active.
Example:
passive means the LAN switch initiates the LACP dialogue.

For completeness I show you the alternative.
One can create an IPMP group, it does not hide the interfaces and each interface keeps its individual MAC address. De-facto this only works with active/standby.(There is maybe an exotic LAN switch configuration that allows active/active.)
Test addresses (that do periodic line checks) must be explicitly added.
Example with preferred active bge0 interface (bge1 is standby), and no test address (link-detection-based):

I work for a Health care company at a local trauma hospital. I maintain a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PAC's). Basically, any medical images (X-Ray, CT, MRI, Mammo, etc) are stored digitally on the servers for viewing and dictation from diagnostic stations. I took over... (10 Replies)

Hi All,

Hi,
This may have already been raised previously so sorry for the duplication. What I want to achieve is have a physical server using link based IPMP setup in the global zone (not problem doing that) and then create a zone set as Shared-IP so when the servers NIC has an issue the IP will... (0 Replies)
All.
I am trying to create a 10 branded zone on a Sol 11.1 T5. The Global is using IPMP...so aggregating is out of the question. Has anyone successfully created a branded zone with IPMP? If they have can you please show me the steps you took to get this to run.

Hi all,
Just a few questions ->
Is an "OFFLINE" interface going back to "ONLINE" consider as a failback by IPMP ?
I have "FAILBACK=no" in my /etc/default/mpathd; however when i do the following
(igb0 and igb7 are in the same ipmp link based group)
q1) why does "if_mpadm -r igb7" cause... (0 Replies)
Hi,
I have Solaris-9 server, V240.
I got alert that one of the interface on IPMP configuration, is failed. Found that two IPs (192.168.120.32 and 192.168.120.35) are not pingable from this server. These two IPs were plumbed on another server and that is decommissioned now. That is the reason,... (5 Replies)
