dumpadm doesn't depend on network/physical. It does, though, depend on services such as filesystem/local and nfs/client that in turn depend on network/physical. That network/physical service plumbs and configures network interfaces. If you'd had dumpadm configured to run savecore into a non-local directory, then that'd probably be a helpful feature. If I were debugging some NIC driver, I'd leave network/physical enabled, omit the /etc/hostname.nic0 file, and use ifconfig to plumb the interface I'm testing by hand. That way, I'd have some control over it without having to disable some random part of the OS. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
