ip_arp_done: init failed with iprb device
807559Oct 1 2007 — edited Oct 21 2008Hi all,
Solaris x86 3/05 (FCS) unpatched: After a reboot, my iprb0 network interface ends up with the same IP as the loopback interface, is marked down, has no route, and doesn't work until I manually ifconfig it. It seems to work fine after the manual ifconfig, though. The "ip_arp_done: init failed" message appears in the system log, which implies to me that iprb isn't getting going like it should at boot. This machine suffered a disk failure, Solaris was reinstalled, and I'm afraid I missed some step required to get iprb going at boot though I don't recall this problem (nor the "ip_arp_done" message) immediately following the reinstallation and subsequent reboots.
The /etc/hostname.iprb0 file and the driver's announcement in the system log all seem fine.
Does anyone have any insight into this problem?
Thanks very much,
Dave
