I believe you'll have to monkey with the failover policy on your LIFs if you want to control it. When using nextavail, I don't believe you can control order. When using priority, you can IIRC.
From page 52 of the cDOT 8.2 Network Management Guide:
* -failover-policy: Enables you to specify the order in which the network ports are chosen during a LIF failover and enables you to prevent a LIF from failing over. This parameter can have one of the following values:
* nextavail (default): Enables a LIF to fail over to the next available port, preferring a port on the current node. In some instances, a LIF configured with the nextavail failover policy selects a failover port on a remote node, even though a failover port is available on the local node. No outages will be seen in the cluster, because the LIFs continue to be hosted on valid failover ports.
* priority: Enables a LIF to fail over to the first available port specified in the user-defined failover group (failover targets can be shown with the network interface show - failover command).
* disabled: Disables (prevents) a LIF from failing over.

Does anyone know if you can re-order the entries within a failover group? My understanding of this is that it’s an automagically created list, but I’d be real happy to find out I’m misunderstanding the docs :)
