They allow the same traffic IP to be hosted on several traffic managers at the same time. This can provide benefits to traffic distribution and reduce the number of IPs needed to run a service. Multi-hosted IPs make use of multicast messages that are broadcast by each traffic manager. These messages are received by network switches and routers to let them know where to send network packets for these IP addresses. Most switches and routers should work perfectly without any additional configuration, however sometimes you may need to tweak some settings on a switch. Read more...

We found that the kernel could incorrectly buffer large amounts of data, which could cause the machine in question to 'hang'. We recommend that customers using this release of OpenSolaris turn off the 'tcp_fusion' feature to avoid this issue. To turn off this feature you can immediately turn it off with the following command, # echo 'do_tcp_fusion/W 0' | mdb -kw However this will not be persistent across system reboots. If you want 'tcp_fusion' to be permanently disabled you will need to add the following line to '/etc/system' set ip:do_tcp_fusion = 0 Once you have added this line you will need to reboot the system for the change to take effect.
