Rarely in my experience has the implementation of a potentially complex
piece of software gone so smoothly. Sun Trunking in combination with
our Cisco Catalyst 5500 switch "just worked".
Once the Network admin configured the four ports as a channel, I plugged
in my qfe card and installed the software. A quick edit to a
configuration file, and the creation of /etc/hostname.qfe0 was all I
needed to do. After the reboot, the system came right up:
Rebooting with command: boot -r
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0 File and args: -r
SunOS Release 5.6 Version Generic_105181-05 [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0]

Too cool...
Thanks to David Mather, Richard Smith, and Dylan Carlson for their
feedback on this.
