Folks,

Why is that /etc/dladm/datalink.conf is not copied over to the new BE 
from old BE?

Today we copy over /etc/hostname[6].* to new BE so that when we reboot 
into new BE we would bring up those interfaces and the system will be 
accessible before.

So what if we had following files:

/etc/hostname.vnic10
/etc/hostname.net0 (bge0 was changed to net0)

The above two files will be copied over to new BE, but since 
datalink.conf is not copied over, the IP interfaces wouldn't come up 
when we reboot to new BE?

Is the reasoning something to do with the new BE might be so old that it 
wouldn't support 'dladm rename-link' or 'dladm create-vnic'

thanks
