Check whether you have added the entry in routing.

Check netstat -nr

Hi.

According result of dladm show-dev both cards ( bge0 and bge1) currently disconnected ( link down).

Check all connected cables and port on switch.

Cable to XSCF and cable to domain network - fully undepended.
You require separate cable for connect Solaris to network.

Regards.

Thanks for quick reply

I've checked already all cables are connected and LEDs light ok, but I don't know whats wrong with M4000 box, Or on XSCF have any command to enables Ethernet cards?

for my XSCF LAN config is :

XSCF> shownetwork -a

How many Ethernet Cables connected to you server and what ports ?

XSCF has its own ethernet connections.
Solaris Domain have separate own connections.
Do you have ethernet cable connected to I/O Unit ?

Read:
Docs index about M4000:

Hi.

You should remove cable from XSCF ethernet1 and connect this cable to port 1 of I/O unit.

( Two ethernet ports below PCI slots )

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/systems-hardware-architecture/m-seriesarchitecture-163844.pdf?ssSourceSiteId=ocomen
Page 8 Figure 3.

Use one ethernet port NOT on XSCF !

XSCF - separated computer for monitoring and manage server.
bge0; bge1 - Separated Ethernet port on I/O Unit available at Solaris Domain.
You already configure it at solaris, but not connect cable to it.

Regards.
