I am running build 121 SX-CE on SPARC on system with four bge
interfaces. I was doing some testing of how many VNIC I can configure,
and in the process tried to 'get rid' of them by replacing the existing
/etc/dladm/datalink.conf file with an original version.
Ever since them I am experiencing intermittent failures with dladm.
Nothing seems completely reproducable.
Just now I deleted a whole bunch of VLANs (4094 of them), and can see
that via dladm show-link. However,
# wc -l /etc/dladm/datalink.conf
4127 /etc/dladm/datalink.conf
suggests otherwise. One symptom is
# dladm rename-link bge3 nic1
dladm: rename operation failed: permission denied
which might be because all the VNICs still on bge3 (although I would
have thought that would not make a difference--to rename the underlying
data link).
As I also have S10 installed on the system, part of me wonders whether
fast reboot (init 6) into build 121 does not clear things out, whereas a
reboot into S10 does. (A quick boot -s into S10 5/09 and then back into
121 seems to have the system boot delay a 'long' time between "Hardware
watchdog enable" and "Hostname...", something that *seems* to go faster
when doing just an init 6 within 121.
After this boot cycle, removing the 4094 VLANs still have datalink.conf
contain all the entries.
Is this a bug?
