Link Based IPMP on Shared IP Solaris Zone

Hi,

This may have already been raised previously so sorry for the duplication. What I want to achieve is have a physical server using link based IPMP setup in the global zone (not problem doing that) and then create a zone set as Shared-IP so when the servers NIC has an issue the IP will failover.

The issue I have is that when you build a zone and you "add net" and set the physical interface, you seem to have to specify an address. But the whole point of IPMP is that the second interface does not have an address, it gets inherited once the primary fails.

So what is have is

net:
address: 10.44.86.234
physical: bge0
defrouter not specified

net:
address: 0.0.0.0
physical: bge1
defrouter not specified

When the zone boots up I get this warning

# zoneadm -z zone1 reboot
zoneadm: zone 'zone1': WARNING: bge1:1: no matching subnet found in netmasks(4) for 0.0.0.0; using default of 255.0.0.0.

Running if_mpadm from the global zone does fail over the NIC ok in the Global zone and zone1.

So am I doing this a bit backwards or can I just ignore the warning.

Thanks,
Giles
