Solaris 11: persistent zone anet interfaces

edited Mar 19, 2012 1:45AM in Oracle Solaris Networking (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
hi all,
A cool feature of the Solaris 11 zones is the exclusive IP stack and the new anet zonecfg property. The vnics are created automatically when booting the zone.

But how can I dynamicly add a new anet interface to a RUNNING zone if we can't reboot the zone to activate it?

I've tried to update the zonecfg and adding a vnic to the zone manually using dladm. Then I can see the link within the zone, but I can only set a temporary address on it. That means: after a later reboot I have to configure this interface again to make it permanent. Is there a way to make it permanent from the beginning?

Howdy, Stranger!
