[SunHELP] multipathing

[Vermette, Matt Spawar (723)]

I would use "dmesg | grep <NIC>".  This will show the physical name for
the device in question.

I'd like to know how I could verify which adapter listed by the OS
corresponds to which slot/port in the actual NIC itself.  This way I can
assure that an active port will failover to a port on the other NIC.  I
have two NIC's w/2 ports each.

(root at test)-> ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
qfe0:

        inet X.X.X.20 netmask ffffff00 broadcast X.X.X.255
        groupname test
