Add to group ipmp6 in /etc/hostname6.eri0

-failover group ipmp6 up

IPv6 multipathing does not require

deprecated on test iface. -failover is enough.

List driver names for devices

prtconf -D

Two ways to test failover

1) detach and reattach the cable
2) if_mpadm command

Test failover with a command

1) if_mpadm -d dnet0
2) if_mpadm -r dnet0

Meaning of TRACK_INTERFACES_ONLY_WITH_GROUPS=

"yes" tells ifconfig to start in.mpathd
"no" starts in.mpathd only with /etc/rcS.d/S30network.sh at boot

IPMP condition on SPARC

Temporarily: helium to grp ipmp192 with 192.168.2.199 logical (2)

1) ifconfig eri0 group ipmp192
2) ifconfig eri0 addif 192.168.2.199 deprecated netmask + broadcast + -failover up

Permanently: helium to ipmp192 grp with helium-test logical

/etc/hostname.eri0:

helium netmask + broadcast + group ipmp192 up \
addif helium-test deprecated netmask + broadcast + -failover up

Config for in.mpathd to treat iface as logical

Check Solaris release

cat /etc/release

Adjust FAILURE_DETECTION_TIME in

/etc/default/mpathd
