IPMP help on Solaris 10

Hello ..im setting up IPMP on a x4100 w/ solaris 10 . This machine has 4
interfaces. Ive done this on Sol9 with no issues ..this is the procedure im
doing can someone fill me as to the error im having or if im missing something

First do:
eeprom local-mac-address?=true


if the interfaces arent plumb then do:
ifconfig e1000g0 plumb
ifconfig e1000g1 plumb
ifconfig e1000g2 plumb
ifconfig e1000g3 plumb

then configure ipmp groups:
ifconfig e1000g0 group prod-ipmp
ifconfig e1000g1 group prod-ipmp
ifconfig e1000g2 group mgmt-ipmp
ifconfig e1000g3 group mgmt-ipmp

then run:
ifconfig e1000g addif 172.24.1. netmask + broadcast + -failover deprecated up


then add the following to /etc/hostname.e1000g0:
ns02-prod1 deprecated -failover group prod-ipmp broadcast + netmask + up addif
ns02-service -deprecated failover broadcast + netmask + up

then add the following to /etc/hostname.e1000g1:
ns02-prod2 deprecated -failover group prod-ipmp broadcast + netmask + up


In my /etc/hosts file i have:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost ns02
172.24.1.203 ns02-prod1
172.24.1.204 ns02-prod2
172.24.1.205 ns02-service

172.24.1.206 ns02-mgmt1
172.24.1.207 ns02-mgmt2
172.24.1.208 ns02-mgmt


When i reboot the box ,.the machine comes up fine then after about 30 seconds
or so i start seeing messages like

"All interfaces in group prod-ipmp have failed"

Can anyone give me a clue as to what is wrong ? Yes...all the interfaces are
attached to a switch & stay UP when i remove the ipmp stuff from the
/etc/hostname.e1000g* files.

any help is very appreciated
