IPMP not functioning

Hi gurus ...

I followed all the steps mentioned in the Sun Blue Print publication to set up IPMP on my Sol 9 sparc box. Have 3 interfaces.. hme0, ge0 & ge1. Am trying to setup IPMP between ge0 & ge1.

The following is the conf details...

ash-2.05# ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

ge0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

inet 10.32.58.197 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.32.58.255

groupname voc-ipmp

ether 8:0:20:ff:10:e5

ge0:1: flags=9040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER > mtu 1500 index 2

inet 10.32.58.189 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.32.58.191

ge1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3

inet 10.32.58.198 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.32.58.255

groupname voc-ipmp

ether 8:0:20:ff:11:3d

ge1:1: flags=9040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER > mtu 1500 index 3

inet 10.32.58.190 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.32.58.191

hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 4

inet 10.32.58.136 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.32.58.191

ether 8:0:20:ce:bb:55

vweb-001# more /etc/hostname.ge1

vweb-001-ge1 netmask + broadcast + failover up group voc-ipmp addif vweb-001-tes

t2 netmask + broadcast + deprecated -failover up

After this setup ..in order to test my config ..i removed the ge0 cable frm my server .....on the console of my server i got the message that ge0 has been disconnected ..but after that nothing happens ..the ge0 does not get marked as failed & it does not failover the IP.

Would much appreciate if anyone can point out what am i missing here ?

Pls pls pls am really desperate ...pls help me...

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Edit your /etc/hostname.ge0 and /etc/hostname.ge1 to reflect the changes shown below.

# more /etc/inet/hosts

# Internet host table

#

127.0.0.1localhost

10.32.58.136vweb-001loghost

10.32.58.197vweb-001-ge0

10.32.58.198vweb-001-test1

10.32.58.189vweb-001-test2

# more /etc/hostname.ge0

vweb-001-ge0 group voc-ipmp up addif vweb-001-test1 deprecated

-failover up

# more /etc/hostname.ge1

vweb-001-test2 group voc-ipmp deprecated -failover up

The output of the ifconfig -a should be something like:

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

ge0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

inet 10.32.58.197 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.32.58.255

groupname voc-ipmp

ether 8:0:20:ff:10:e5

ge0:1: flags=9040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER > mtu 1500

index 2 inet 10.32.58.189 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.32.58.191

groupname voc-ipmp

ge1: flags=9040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER > mtu 1500

index 3 inet 10.32.58.190 netmask ffffffc0 broadcast 10.32.58.191

groupname voc-ipmp

ether 8:0:20:ff:11:3d

Im using the same configuraion and its working. It should work for you as well.
