Thanks for the response Richard. <That won't fix it... whatever it is. You're losing the net and you need to solve that problem first. I'd check /var/adm/messages file and see if there is anything unusual, then fmdump -eV, looking for clues. < I don't see anything in the messages file or fmdump when the issue occurs.
<By default, arp will try to resolve (reverse lookup) the IP addresses. This is a bad thing, if you are not connected to the net, since it will wait patiently for the reverse lookups to timeout. When troubleshooting nets, you should use the -n flag which disables reverse lookups: arp -an, netstat -rn, etc. < Looks like Im losing the arp data somehow....could it be something on the client side (10.0.1.4)? r...@opensolaris:~# arp -an Net to Media Table: IPv4 Device IP Address Mask Flags Phys Addr ------ -------------------- --------------- -------- --------------- e1000g0 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.255 00:1f:f3:42:73:a0 e1000g0 10.0.1.4 255.255.255.255 U e1000g0 10.0.1.200 255.255.255.255 SPLA 00:15:58:2e:af:8f e1000g0 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 SM 01:00:5e:00:00:00 r...@opensolaris:~# netstat -rn Routing Table: IPv4 Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface -------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ---------- --------- default 10.0.1.1 UG 1 92 e1000g0 10.0.1.0 10.0.1.200 U 1 170 e1000g0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 14 lo0 Routing Table: IPv6 Destination/Mask Gateway Flags Ref Use If --------------------------- --------------------------- ----- --- ------- ----- fe80::/10 fe80::215:58ff:fe2e:af8f U 1 0 e1000g0 ::1 ::1 UH 1 0 lo0 r...@opensolaris:~# ping 10.0.1.1 no answer from 10.0.1.1 Message was edited by: mfish -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
