Yes. You can install a different image on your new BE other than what you have in old BE. That is, new BE need not be derived from old BE. In that case, lucreate as this mechanism of copying over some files to new BE. So that when we boot over to new BE, this configuration is still there. If I understand things correctly, the files that will be copied over is defined by /etc/lu/lu_transfer_list on the machine you live upgraded. /ws/install-nv-gate/usr/src/cmd/inst/liveupgrade/files/lu_transfer_list and in there /etc/dladm/datalink.conf is missing thanks ~Girish
