In a clustered environment, partnering a VIF needs the VIF name of the other filer's VIF rather than it's IP address (and it makes it easier if you use names that are easily differentiated between the two filers)...

Here is my rc lines:
ifconfig e6 mediatype 100tx-fd ifconfig e0 mediatype 100tx-fd vif create multi vif01 e6 e0 vif favor e6 ifconfig vif01 `hostname`-e6 mediatype 100tx-fd partner vif01
^^^^^When specifying the partner of a vif, use the IP address of
the partner
interface, not the interface name.

Sam -- I tried using the partner address and it complained. I also tried the hostname of the partner and it also complained. Then I read the archives and someone said you needed to use the name of the virtual interface to get the cluster to work.
