Re: Problem configuring NetRain bcm0 and ee0
For NetRAIN all ethernet interfaces must be of the same speed. As ee0 is 100Mb/s and bcm0 is 1000Mb/s it won't work.
See the docs here:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51_HTML/ARH9CBTE/NTCHPXXX.HTM#nr-int-sect
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: Problem configuring NetRain bcm0 and ee0
I don't think that will work, although I've never tried...

Re: Problem configuring NetRain bcm0 and ee0
According to the NetWortk Administration: Connections manual section 2.4.1:
You must use two or more of the same type of network interface (FDDI,
ATM LAN Emulation, or Ethernet) dedicated to a single LAN segment.
If you use Ethernet adaptors, they must all be of the same speed.

Re: Problem configuring NetRain bcm0 and ee0
1. Link Aggregation and Trunking are protocols using multiple network ports in parallel to increase the link speed. You need network switch that supports that.
2. NETRAIN is network failover. You can use two different switches, no need for advanced switches.
3. link = Unknown ?
First check do your network adapters work OK.
Brake the Netrain set and test each NIC.
4. If you use Ethernet adaptors, they must all be of the same SPEED, but do not have to be same TYPE. So if you set speed of bcm0 to 100Mb/s, it may work. But from my experiance, it is better to use same type of NIC (two bcm cards or two ee cards).
5. Do the following test:
- unconfigure both network interfaces
- make /etc/inet.local to look like:
ifconfig nr0 add ee0,bcm0
ifconfig nr0 inet
Reboot after that.
Do not forget to set bcm0 speed to 100.
