Well, quick google search for that last message showed this: IBM How to Configure Unix Server Sensor to Not Monitor Interface - United States Which then leads to this: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/sp...c/rsss_faq.pdf which might explain the "ISS" process name. It is possible that this application is messing with the network interfaces.

I have a quick question.
Is that even possible for the NIC to have a failed Status?
I mean the NIC card as WHOLE which has 4 Ethernet Ports and only 1 failing.
If it was a hardware problem then there are ways to look into it right?
Code:
prtdiag -v?

More likely it looks like an application problem?

Well, I've only seen status "FAILED" on a NICs that were part of an IPMP group and there was some problem with communication (for example wrong VLAN configured on a switch side). I don't know how NIC's hardware failure would manifest, but in your case I'd say it is an application problem.

A normal interface may not be DEPRECATED!?
This is part of IPMP group MNIC; how do the other group members look?

Ce0 and Ce3 are part of the IPMP group.

Code:
ce0: flags=19040803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER,FAILED> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 192.168.1.30 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        groupname MNIC
ce3: flags=9040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet 192.168.1.31 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        groupname MNIC
ce3:1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
        inet 192.168.1.51 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

DEPRECATED means that outgoing IP traffic should not go to that interface.
I suggest to delete deprecated from /etc/hostname.ce0 and /etc/hostname.ce3.
Immediately applying it can result in an application failure (and even in a kernel panic):
Code:
ifconfig ce0 -deprecated
ifconfig ce3 -deprecated

But this is not related to the FAILED status. Perhaps it's caused by a bad cable or a bad LAN switch configuration?
Another recommendation: have the latest GigaSwift driver patch (118777-18) installed.

ce0 was at a failed status because the patch cable was bad. Smilie
Once we switched it, it was back up and running.

Those interface are having -deprecated because I want the virtual interface to take control of the in/out going traffic. Applications rely on that virtual IP. In any case the now that ce0 is back up. If ce3 fails, ce0's virtual interface should come up.
