In my case on the OpenIndiana system I run physical:nwam the physical network interface autoconfiguration.
# svcs -a | grep physical disabled 7:44:29 svc:/network/physical:default online 7:44:33 svc:/network/physical:nwam See man nwamd (choice between "manual" and "auto-magic" mode). Did you have some events logged in the current "volatile" /etc/svc/volatile/network-physical:nwam.log or in the (permanent) copy in /var/svc/log/network-physical:nwam.log Anyway the error seems not so unusual, for example I had it many times when adding host IP addresses manually to /etc/hosts and then you could get hostname resolution errors in some cases. It could be something transient in the hostname resolution / network automagic setup. Of course it can be something else as well, checking the nwam.log file is perhaps a good start to troubleshoot this.
