Solaris

The problem that I'm having is that I've setup IPMP on the private interconnects and, when testing the setup by pulling one of the Ethernet cables the database stays up, when i pull the second cable the dbase loses communication.

after you pluged in the first one, i guess... post your configuration...

e1000g0 primary public interface setup with ipmp sc_ipmp0
e1000g1 secondary public interface setup with ipmp sc_ipmp0

e1000g2 private interconnect on 180 subnet
e1000g3 private interconnect on 180 subnet

come on... you have to post the config files, error messages and and and and... if you don't give ALL information, how can we help?

This is the output from ifconfig -a for the private interconnects that I want to implement IPMP on:

nge0: flags=1008843<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, MULTICAST, PRIVATE, IPV4> MTU 1500 INDEX 5
inet 180.x.x.x netmask ffffff80 broadcast 180.x.x.x

nge1: flags=1008843<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, MULTICAST, PRIVATE, IPV4> MTU 1500 INDEX 5
inet 180.x.x.x netmask ffffff80 broadcast 180.x.x.x

and this output should tell us what?

This output is from one of my database servers that I want to implement IPMP on. The two NICs are the private interconnect between servers and, I want to use IPMP for redundancy. During testing, I've seen where if disconnect the port that houses nge0 then the database will stay up and running. If i disconnect the port that houses nge1 then the database craps out. What I'd like to do is setup IPMP so that if nge1 goes down then nge0 immediately takes over the load.
