The fact that NWAM will automatically plumb IP on every available physical
data-link by default will mean that the administrator will somehow need to
tell NWAM to keep away from the data-link while it's being renamed. I'm
not sure how this is going to work.
So an admin decides to use the CLI to rename a name. Will there
be some form of notification? If not, NWAM will not know about
this name change and funny thing can happen in the mean time.
[ sorry for the late response. ]
So far we don't plan to have any notification mechanism - network vanity
naming component will only update link configuration (th dladm
configuration) accordingly based on the rename operation, and we think a
broader framework is needed to address configuration changes at all other
levels of the networking stack.
