That's because the network/physical:nwam service doesn't do "dladm up-vnic" like network/physical:default does. It's a bug in NWAM that will be fixed in "NWAM Phase 1". Note that your VNICs are still in the persistent configuration, the problem is simply that the configuration isn't activated during boot when using NWAM. > Is there a trick to make sure they don't hide because at some point in time > I will have to restart. You can either turn off NWAM and use network/physical:default to configure the network, or you can manually bring up your VNICs using "dladm up-vnic". -Seb
