Hi,

Trying to jumpstart an LDOM on T200 sun4v.

I am getting the following error with my virtual network set-up. Any
idea's are much appreciated. Please note that I am also unable to
plumb up the virtual switch vsw1 ????

ifconfig vsw1 plumb
ifconfig: plumb: vsw1: no such interface

ok: boot vnet1

There doesn't seem to a lot of info regarding this error altough
someone did have nearly the exact same problem which was posted on
sun's forum here:

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5165142&tstart=15

He got no response. Any of you guru's throw some light on this issue ?

I think you have a problem with the machine at all not only net boot. I 
had similar problems with 100% and could not call ldm at all. Try a 
newer firmware or reset the frame.

Folks,

Solved this issue.

If anyone is having similar issues: we found that the driver for ipeg
interfaces where not compatiable for some reason with plumbing virtual
switches. We ran a script that was provided in a patch to transition
the interfaces to e1000g interface names and guess what happened ?

vsw1 plumbed up straight away. Still encountering other small issues
but in the whole this has put an end to 2 days of "Why won't it work"
and some banging of heads....

:)

N.B. We did an upgrade of this box from an older version of Sol10.
This may have been the root cause of this behaviour.
