Hello,
I am not very familiar with ipadm and I am wondering how to setup IP address
with it.
I currently have a box with mother board NIC nxge0 set to 172.17.139.24 by dhcp
server. I want to set it to 172.17.138.79 static address, but ifconfig command
does not work on snv137 or later Solaris Express OS, how do I do it?
I tried this command, "ipadm create-addr", but it seems to only work for new
NIC interfaces(not created). For those interfaces plumbed up by default, it does not
work. How do I manually re-config existing interfaces? it seems that I can not delete
these existing interfaces and re-create them to assign new addresses.

The issue is, you have nwam (network auto-magic) enabled and you are trying to
manually configure the IP interfaces. You have to first disable nwam to perform
manual configuration.
# svcadm disable network/physical:nwam
# svcadm enable network/physical:default
Now use ipadm(1M) to create addresses.
If you need to create a static address permanently so that it is re-created on
reboot. Do
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a local=172.17.138.79 nxge0/v4
