IP Multipathing query

Hi,

I have a query on IP Multipathing implemented in Solaris. If i have a session which is up on a Solaris node which has multipathing configured. If one of the NICs fail in the multipathing group, will the session get terminated due to the failure of one of the NICs in the group or will the session still be up inspite of the failure?

Regards,

Deepak Tulsani

You will not lose your connection. That's the whole point of IPMP.

But that depends on what your NIC failover time is. Default is 10000 ms (/etc/default/mpathd -- iirc). You can shorten it or lengthen it based on your needs.

Just have to watch out for session timeouts not falling inside the nic failover time. Realistically, it never is -- but, stranger things have been known to happen...
