How to configure MULTINICB
 
Step 1.Create aliases in your /etc/hosts file:
bash-3.00#bash-3.00# cat hosts
# Internethost table
#
::1localhost
127.0.0.1localhost
10.168.21.254sprst1000a0-13.spr.spt.symantec.com sprst1000a0-13 loghost
10.168.22.11sprst1000a0-14.spr.spt.symantec.com sprst1000a0-14
10.168.22.167mnicb-failover-ip
10.168.21.254mnicb-bge0-base
10.168.22.70mnicb-bge3-base
 
Step2.  Edit your hostname. files according to the IPMP syntaxguidelines:
bash-3.00# cat hostname.bge0
mnicb-bge0-base netmask + broadcast + deprecated group mnicb -failover up \
addif mnicb-failover-ip netmask + broadcast + up
bash-3.00# cat hostname.bge3
mnicb-bge3-base netmask + broadcast + deprecated group mnicb -failover standby up
 
Step3.  Create the MultiNICB resource, it should look like this:
MultiNICBmnicb (
             Critical = 0
             UseMpathd = 1
             Device = { bge0 = 0, bge3 = 1}
               )
IPMultiNICBmnicb-ip (
             Critical = 0
             BaseResName = mnicb
             Address = "10.168.22.167"
             NetMask= "255.255.252.0"
             )
Step4.  Online of MultiNICB should result in IPMultiNICB being plumbed into asub interface of bge0 or bge3:
bash-3.00#i fconfig -a
lo0:flags=2001000849 mtu 8232index 1
             inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
bge0:flags=9040843mtu 1500 index 2
             inet 10.168.21.254 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 10.168.23.255  groupnamemnicb
             ether 0:14:4f:f2:5b:7c
bge0:1:flags=1000843 mtu 1500 index2
             inet 10.168.22.167 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 10.168.23.255
bge3:flags=39040802mtu 1500 index 4
             inet 10.168.22.70 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 10.168.23.255 groupnamemnicb
             ether 0:14:4f:f2:5b:7f
