Well, It appears that ipmp is not available for versions of Solaris earlier than 8. There are other options though, Sun trunking being one. VCS from Veritas is another. And, yet another is AP (alternate Pathing) from Sun. Veritas and Sun solutions tend to be expensive for a simple project. I am going to check out a perl script from Dale Sides that he calls "the poor man's cluster". From what he says it should work great. The problem that has arisen now is that most of these solutions appear to work only on the physical layer and the Net engineer says we need to consider the network layer as well, so we are looking at routed. Apparently the NetBSD version of routed that he is looking into covers RIPv2, which is important for the project. I looked at the man page for routed on Solaris and saw no mention of RIP other than in description. So to find a more robust version of routed is the deal I guess. We also looked at gated but I think he found some issues that were not acceptable from a network Engineers POV.
