Error Message:
  There are two error cases.
For example. when one node (node A) was halt or panicked, then service group would failover to another node(node B).
  Case 1:
IPMultiNICB Resource fails to online on node B with below error.
    V-16-10001-5013 IPMultiNICB:ipmnicb1:online:This IP address is configured elsewhere. Will not online
    During service group is going to online on node B, node A booted up, and IP address that defined in IPMultiNICB Resource would be up.
  Case 2:
Duplicate address warning message are logged on node A.
     WARNING: ipmp0 has duplicate address xx.xx.xx.xx (in use by 00:14:4f:fb:7d:f9); disabled.
    After service group failover to node B, node A booted up, then OS reported duplicate address with node B,
   

Cause:

 

IPMultiNICB executed  "ipadm create-addr" command without -t (--temporary) flag that specifies that the configured address is temporary and changes apply only to the active configuration.

   
Solution:
  We added the -t (--temporary) flag in the "ipadm create-addr" command.
