[SunHELP] Failback manualy with IP MultiPathing

Take both interfaces out of multipathing, set them up on the same net, and
only connect one. Move cable to other when in need.

OK, not the best solution, I admit.

Actually, you could do this, and connect both ports. Then admin-down one of
the switchports or down the port in Solaris.

~ Hi all,
~ 
~ With solaris 8 (07/01), I configure a MultiPathing group of 
~ two interfaces
~ (eri0 & eri1) where eri1 is a standby interface.
~ In the MultiPathing /etc/default/mpathd configuration  file, I set the
~ parameter FAILBACK to no.
~ So, no automatic Failback when a repair is detected.
~ Can anybody tell me how to failback manualy whithout 
~ rebooting the system ?
~ 
~ Thanks in advance.
