Hi, I saw a similar issue on Opensolaris 2008.11, updated to snv_105. I have reported it to the Opensolaris bug database, but did not get any response so far (and not bug id). I created 3 etherstubs and 2 vnics per etherstub, all working fine. After a crash of my system (freeze) 'dladm show-link' did not show any of the virtual devices, but they were all in the datalink.conf file. The 'create-vnic' and 'create-etherstub' resulted in the same "object already exists" messages, plumbing created also the above error message. The workaround I found was deleting all virtual devices via 'delete-vnic' and 'delete-etherstub', which worked fine, and re-creating them again. This happened twice on my system so far. Regards, Marcus
