Yes there are two vnic in the guest: nxge0 and nxge1 are vnsw0 and vnsw1 hence 
vnet0 and vnet1.
I have no way that  I know to see what the original boot was but I'll rerun it 
with a snoop on the other interface - I was snooping vnsw0 because that's what 
I configured to boot.
Meanwhile my install from a manual boot net:dhcp failed because I specified zfs 
on rootdisk rather than rootdisk.s0.

Do you have multiple vnics on the guest?   If so did you happen to notice if 
the original boot was using a different device than the one associated with the 
"net" alias?

Subject: [ldoms-discuss] dhcp and guest

Using Oracle Enterprise Manager Opscenter 11g.1 I provisioned the OS and 
service domain on a T5240. That also (per plan) created 2 guest domains. It was 
supposed to install Solaris 10 on the guests but that isn't working. The 
installation is supposed to be via DHCP but the DHCP Discover requests from the 
guest aren't getting answered. To make things more confusing there is a DHCP 
server which OC configured on the service domain and another DHCP server on the 
Enterprise Controller. I have replicated the macro etc. from the EC to the 
service domain but I do not see any discover requests when I snoop vsw0 (the 
boot network for the client) or it's physical interface nxge0. Given that snoop 
doesn't see anything it's not very surprising that neither DHCP server is 
answering.

Any thoughts / insight as to why these packets aren't seen by snoop? I see a 
lot of other traffic from other physical hosts on the subnet  if I just 
promiscuous snoop vsw0 so it's not as fundamental as total incompatibility of 
snoop and vsw.
