Raghuram,

Thank you for your quick reply, but the blog entry describe how to 
configure IPMP (probe-based) in the Guest Domain. I'm looking for an 
example on how to configure IPMP (link-based) in the Service Domain.

--- start quoting the LDom 1.0.1 Admin Guide ---

Configuring and Using IPMP in the Service Domain

Network failure detection and recovery can also be set up in a Logical 
Domains environment by configuring the physical interfaces in the 
service domain into a IPMP group. To do this, configure the virtual 
switch in the service domain as a network device, and configure the 
service domain itself to act as an IP router. (Refer to the Solaris 10 
System Administration Guide: IP Services for information on setting up 
IP routing).

Once configured, the virtual switch sends all packets originating from 
virtual networks (and destined for an external machine), to its IP 
layer, instead of sending the packets directly via the physical device. 
In the event of a physical interface failure, the IP layer detects 
failure and automatically re-routes packets through the secondary interface.

Since the physical interfaces are directly being configured into a IPMP 
group, the group can be set up for either link-based or probe-based 
detection. The following diagram shows two network interfaces (e1000g0 
and e1000g1) configured as part
of an IPMP group. The virtual switch instance (vsw0) has been plumbed as 
a network device to send packets to its IP layer.

Has anyone done this configuration before?

Thanks again,
Gustavo.
