All,
Unless I am missing something,
dladm create-aggr -l nic0 -l nic1 -l nic2 -l nic3 -L <active,passive>
aggr0
works just fine in the two switch configuration. It's been our experience,
that the two
switches need to look like they are one switch (e.g. cluster switch) to make it
work.
Cheers,
Michael
