The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

HP RedHat Sun, HP-UX RHEL Solaris, HP Redhat Sun, HP9000

Hi,

For Solaris 10, I've got the answer I needed at :
  http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/gafxi?a=view


I would like to do the same network teaming/bonding (as it's
termed in Linux)  for HP-UX & RHEL & older version of Solaris 9.

On HP9000, HP-UX version :
B.11.11 U 9000/800

On Itanium, HP-UX version :
B.11.23 U

On Redhat, version is (heard network teaming in Linux is called bonding) :
 2.4.20-8  &
 2.4.20-8smp

Solaris :
version 9  (unlike ver 10, heard that this needs a trunking software)

Appreciate if the step by step commands,  the configuration
file (& directory where it's located) are given.  If any addtional
software is needed (say trunking or 802.x aggregation), pls
provide the location to download from.

Priority is to provide redundancy in case one link/NIC is down
but would be nice if load sharing of traffic is available for the
teaming/bonding configuration

If possible, avoid IPMP (as this  requires 3 IP addresses) &
firewall rules may be affected.  A single IP address is best,
if not, then suggest the next best option for each of the OS
above.

If you're familiar with only one or two of the above OS, your
answers  are appreciated too.

If there's any specifics on the Cisco switch (6513) end that
needs special handling, kindly highlight as well
