HPUX NIC teaming possible ?

[David Stedman_1]

Is their a network configuration that I can apply on a HP9000 server running 11i v1 that will cause to NICs to 'team' in the way that HP wintel servers do? That is, I want to have 2 NIC's configured with the same IP address, patched to different switches with the ability to provide redundancy for each other.
