We are in the process of moving our host system to a new server.
We would like to utilize high availability by teaming the NIC on the AIX host.
We are being told the only way to do this is by creating a etherchannel aggregate connection from the AIX host to a switch.
We have two 6509s and cross stack etherchannel is not supported.
Is there any other way to team the NICs across two different switches without an etherchannel and no loss of connectivty if on one of the NIC fails?
For example like teamed NICs like with HP?
Both nics are connected (two different switches) on fails, the other is maintaining the connection?
They do not need to load balance.
If so, please point me to a link or solution.
