I was trying to setup a VIF on a system that only had 2 ethernet ports. I was doing this over the Filerview web interface but it kept failing to add the second ethernet connection.
As I'm a true techie I moved to the commandline - but I still had issues. It transpires that ethernet commands made at the commandline are not persistant over reboots! I know. CRAZY! By the book you should directly edit the config file - but in this case Microsoft came to my rescuse. The MMC created the VIF no problem at all!
I don't think Netapp have support for the MMC, I believe it is an IBM creation - so there is a reason to go IBM Nseries as opposed to vanilla Netapp.

Todays lesson is REMEBER THAT CHANGES TO ETHERNET MADE ON THE COMMAND LINE DO NOT SURVIVE REBOOTS!

Well done Tony Dimagio for the best write up of this I've ever seen. Very easy to follow.
