I have two boxes with a dual e1000g intel NIC with 2 zones installed, 5.11 snv_84 i86pc. The cards are in IPMP group. I keep getting some really weird things, like an IP seens to be down (by pinging it from another host), but you can ping the host back. On the other host, I can see ARP requests for this host, but I can't see them on the affected node. And I can see zones send out ARP requests for their own addresses.. To make a list of them (A-global zone, Z1,Z2 - zones on A node, B-another equivalent box, G-gateway)
- A ip seems to be down for ping from B, can't see any ARP packets at this node, but can ping back. Can ping the zones (IF aliases on the same NIC) from B. - can't ping A from B, but can from G. After a while, it can be the way around.. - Z IPs sporadicly send out ARP requests for their own MAC. - I can ping G from A, but don't see any packets in snoop (either -d e1000g0, which should be the right NIC or any other, where it would be wrong to see them) - and it's not node A that is the sole problematic node. At the moment I can ping A from G, but not B. At the same time I can ping G from B.. - no errors in the system log at any time.. As you can see, there is so much anomalies that I have no clue at what's going on..I'll try to connect those two boxes to a stupid SOHO switch to see if this is something to do with the solaris boxes or our network equipment has gone coockoo.. The zones sending out ARPs for themselves make me wonder if this could be the case. They should be aware of themselves or not necessarily?... If anyone has any ideas how to deal with this situation, I'm all open for suggestions..
