I having problems in renaming one of the links. As you can see from below, I have been able to rename two of the links.

# dladm show-phys
LINK              MEDIA                STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
net1              Ethernet             up         1000   full      igb1
net2              Ethernet             up         10     full      usbecm2
link1_ipmp0       Ethernet             up         1000   full      igb0
link2_ipmp0       Ethernet             up         1000   full      e1000g1
net8              Ethernet             unknown    0      unknown   e1000g2
net9              Ethernet             unknown    0      unknown   e1000g0
net3              Ethernet             unknown    0      unknown   e1000g3

This is what happens:
# dladm rename-link net3 backup
dladm: rename operation failed: invalid argument
# ipadm create-ip net3
# dladm rename-link net3 backup
dladm: rename operation failed: link busy

Howdy, Stranger!
