Is /etc/dladm/datalink.conf owned by dladm, group sys, mode 644?
Some more thoughts...
Oddly, over 4000 remove-vlan operations were 'successful', as I check
the return code when to know that there aren't any more to remove. so
while the rename failed due to permission, the remove failed silently.
The existence of dlmgmtd may explain the 'generic' permission denied
error message I have been seeing, compared to a more descriptive error
message I captured on S10 yesterday--I had noticed the difference and
was ready to file a bug.
On S10 (where I was trying to create an aggregation on a link already
part of an IPMP group--device busy was very useful)
dladm: create operation failed: Device busy (invalid interface name)
I realize the situations are not identical, so I'll have to see if I can
create some similar ones to get clarity.
Thanks to both for the insights!
