Ipadm create failed

UNIX Solaris

Hello Group,

I tried to enable the net1 interface under Solaris 11 and I see a flag related with a ipmp failed. Now this interface is not set to any ipmp group.

I would appreciate it your help

Troubleshooting Interface Configuration - Oracle Solaris Administration: Network Interfaces and Network Virtualization says:

IP address cannot be assigned with the ipadm create-addr command.

With the traditional ifconfig command, you can plumb and assign an IP address with a single command syntax. When using the ipadm create-addr command to configure an IP address, you must first create the IP interface with a separate command.
# ipadm create-ip interface# ipadm create-addr -T addr-type -a address addrobjThe message cannot create address object: Invalid argument provided is displayed during IP address configuration.

The address object identifies a specific IP address bound to an IP interface. The address object is a unique identifier for each IP address on the IP interface. You must specify a different address object to identify a second IP address that you want to assign to the same IP interface. If you want to use the same address object name, then you must delete the first instance of the address object before assigning it to identify a different IP address.

Solaris 11 or 10?
