If I'm ssh'd into a system and it has only one NIC (or the NIC that I want to rename has the IP# of the target of my ssh session), how do I do it? (Note that I can't unplumb the NIC I want to rename.)
Is there a magic file I can put some commands into so that when the box reboots, it can rename /etc/hostname.hme0 to /etc/hostname.bugbear0 and also execute dladm to rename hme0 to bugbear0 too? It seems I can: 1) edit /etc/dladm/datalink.conf, changing "name=string,hme0" to "name=string,bugbear0" 2) rename /etc/hostname.hme0 to /etc/hostname.bugbear0 3) reboot This will work? Or is there a better way? I think there is a (4) missing from 4.3.1 in the design doc: - how to rename your only existing network interface without being at the console. Darren
