ORACLE ZFS STORAGE APPLIANCE: HOW TO ENABLE NETWORK INTERFACES WHICH ARE DOWN ON ZFS

Following are steps to follow to enable network interface on ZFS

 

a. Run below command to check the status of the interfaces and to see which interfaces are down. 
 
configuration net interfaces ls

Properties: 
 state = up 
  curaddrs = 192.XX.XX.5/24 
 class = ipmp 
 label = IB_IF_8002 
enable = true 
 admin = true 
 links = p8002_ibp1,p8002_ibp0 
   v4addrs = 192.XX.XX.5/24 
v4dhcp = false 
  v4directnets = 
   v6addrs = 
v6dhcp = false 
  v6directnets = 
   key = 3 
  standbys = p8002_ibp1
