Solaris 10 branded zone with IPMP

UNIX Solaris

All.

I am trying to create a 10 branded zone on a Sol 11.1 T5. The Global is using IPMP...so aggregating is out of the question. Has anyone successfully created a branded zone with IPMP? If they have can you please show me the steps you took to get this to run.

Thanks

I think you can simply create two virtual NICs on global zone's physical NICs, then assign those vnics to branded zone and use IPMP on those two vnics as if they were physical interfaces.

So let me walk through this.

I have net0-net18. All net0-18 are already in an IPMP group...via ipadm. If I...dladm create-vnic -l net18 vnic1, dladm create-vnic -l net16 vnic2.

dladm show-link
vnic1
vnic2 
dladm create-aggr -l vnic1 -l vnic2 aggr0

could I by pass IPMP fully?

Why do you want to create aggregation? After you create vnic1 and vnic2, assign them to the branded zone with "ip-type=exlusive" and then use IPMP on vnic1, vnic2 inside the branded zone...

That may work. Thank you. I will try this.
