It should be possible to disable this NM. iiuc, i believe that'd be, pfexec svcadm disable network/physical:nwam && \ pfexec svcadm enable network/physical:default pfexec ifconfig xnf0 down pfexec ifconfig xnf0 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492 pfexec ifconfig xnf0 up pfexec route add default 192.168.1.102 which i can/do @ installer time to use static IP assignements. i just can't seem to get them to 'stick' or 'be happy' after reboot and xen, run-time launch. > It's not a problem for Solaris Nevada.

The last build i tried was 106. @ JavaOne i was repeatedly told that SXCE (that's 'Nevada', yes?) is "going away soon" and that I should be using opensolaris _now_. given these experiences, i'm not sure that's the wisest choice, particularly for a server deployment in a static-ip env. given your coment, Boris, and reading, http://whacked.net/2005/06/21/confused-so-was-i/ is 'Nevada' likely a more-functional, or at least better-behaved, option for me? _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
