You could take a look at Sun Trunking 1.3, but Sun Trunking 1.3, like any server trunking software, load balances the outgoing traffic, not the incoming packets. Trunking 1.3 software relies on the link partner (switch or server) to load balance the incoming packets.
1. Download the binary. http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42e56519 2. Search the Installation Guide http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3374-10?l=en&q=sun+trunking+1.3 3. Follow the installation steps stated in page 46 4. Install the appropriate patches are referenced in the product for only Production version of Solaris i.e 10u4 or only use the latest OpenSolaris. 5. Set local-mac-address as root on the command-line for sparc eeprom local-mac-address?=true 6. Reboot So one workaround I have only been able to use for services entries. i.e oracle tnsnames, or nfs, for the inbound using standard IPMP with active - active and two virtual interfaces hostnames and IP's defined one for each ipmp-group so then define each Virtual Interfaces for your 10 and 20 IP address in the hosts and dns with repect to each physical IP and hostname, then for your 10 and 20 virtual interface hostnames share the entries i.e hostnames VirtInt10 and VirtInt20 your dfstab and set the automounter to make use of both virtual interface hostnames and set the time out to allow fail over to work in a timely manner i.e automounter, I am not sure of a ISCSI client can make use of a second known virtual and has a time out value for hostname or not in using a inbound traffic? maybe a RFE could be added, if technically is sound!
