Define 2 NIC in a Solarisx86 vm

1-view configuration

# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849 mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0: flags=201000843 mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.14 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

2- check files mapping to your nic's under /etc/

# more /etc/hostname*
::::::::::::::
/etc/hostname.e1000g0
::::::::::::::
solsrvr2 netmask + broadcast + group grp1 up
::::::::::::::
/etc/hostname.e1000g1
::::::::::::::
group grp1 up

3-check if mpathd is running or not

# ps -ef | grep mpathd
root 158 1 0 16:48:03 ? 0:01 /usr/lib/inet/in.mpathd -a

4- mpathd configuration under /etc/default/

# ls -l /etc/default/mpathd
