Solaris 10 IPMP with failback=no + active,active setup differences

edited Aug 9, 2016 3:06AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

Hi all,

Just a few questions ->

Is an "OFFLINE" interface going back to "ONLINE" consider as a failback by IPMP ?

I have "FAILBACK=no" in my /etc/default/mpathd; however when i do the following
(igb0 and igb7 are in the same ipmp link based group)

Quote:

if_mpadm -d igb7
-- see ip on igb7 failover to igb0

if_mpadm -r igb7
-- see ip for igb7 (currently on igb0) failback to igb7

q1) why does "if_mpadm -r igb7" cause the ip of igb7 (on igb0) to failback to igb7 when i have "FAILBACK=no" ?

==================

q2) is there any difference between the following IPMP linked base (active, active) setup

Howdy, Stranger!
