I wasn't trying to put you down at all. I'm sorry if it sounded that way in email. I was suggesting that if you have Solaris 10 (which it sounded to me like you did -- many Solaris 10 users errantly think they're using OpenSolaris, and I've never heard of an OpenSolaris user refer to his or her system as "10"), then you ought to contact a local Sun support person. That's what support is for. > Next time, ask a real engineer before you respond. Ah, well, time to turn in that worthless sheepskin, I guess. :-/ As for the unexpected results on sys-unconfig, did it ask you any questions at all on boot-up? If this really is OpenSolaris, which one is it exactly? There are multiple distributions, each with many different builds. Narrowing down the field seems like the first obvious step. Is it perhaps Indiana? If so, then you should be contacting that project team directly. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] Lost network connectivity and NIC recognition
Christine You're wrong here and you were wrong about the migration. Why can't you accept that!? You should be asking me HOW I did the entire thing so successfully than saying it can't be done. You should learn to WORK with the public engineers, not against them. << Is it possible that your system hangs on patching and upgrade because you've attempted to do things we warned you not to do?>> Umm, it's a DIFFERENT system. <> How do you know?

He's one of the coders of the features you're using (perhaps abusing.) If you read my email more carefully, I said that the migration you attempted IS NOT SUPPORTED. You have an unsupportable system when you modified the index and zones .xml file and move the zonepaths around. That it appears to work is not the point.

James I am definitely using OpenSolaris as that's what I downloaded and installed, (excuse me if it's not called "10"). <> I feel sorry for you James. It appears you must put people down to feel better about yourself. Why not go to a shrink for help?! You gave a very obvious (LOL) answer that a novice level would give. I need SENIOR level engineers helping out. I take care of 312 Solaris boxes, including VM's. I tried all the trivial normal stuff like what you suggested.

[zones-discuss] Lost network connectivity and NIC recognition
Hi All I'm running OpenSolaris 10. I ran sys-unconfig so that I could change the IP addresses on the box (which has 11 zones). However, after boot up, it went straight to logon and allowed me to type "root" and hit "enter" and get right into the OS without giving a password. The WORST part is that it's now lost all of it's network recognition. It says that there are NO NIC's installed! I ran #touch /reconfigure and still, nothing. I booted of OBP with "boot -r" and still nothing. I'm running a SUN T1000. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this on this OpenSolaris box? Thank you for your help Anne ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
