[OpenIndiana-discuss] Help needed to understand situation due to one network connection gone down global zone ok but local zone vNIC status says UP

[Sanjay Pokhriyal]

Hi,We faced an outage issue where one of the network connection went down. In our setup we have two NICs and two local zones were created.Global zone was showing link status as down but in local zones vNIC were showing its STATE as UP.Due to this it never switched to secondary connection and we were out of connectivity for hours.
please help us to understand how local zone can sync its status with global zone or details if we need to tweak/change our setup considerably.
