Chapter 6 Virtual Network Interface Cards (vNICs) 89
When 1/1 goes down, traffic fails over to path 2/1. When 1/1 comes back online, the
vNIC reverts back to using 1/1 automatically. Any failure along the path (Ethernet
or InfiniBand) of the vNIC will force traffic flow to the other side.
Note that show vnic -detail displays “flags” is set to “A” once -auto-switchover
is enabled:
add vnic test_1.01bardeen 1/1 -auto-switchover=true ha 2/1
show vnic test_1.01bardeen -detail
