Hi, We're working on a problem in vanity naming about how to handle the case where links stored in linkmgmtd's SMF repository get into state where there are duplicate link entries.
With vanity naming, we represent links as property groups named by the link ID. Each property group contains the link attributes. The case I'm thinking of is where we have two or more links each with different IDs but with each link having the same name. For example, we'd have in SMF property groups with names link1 and link2, and each one contains a property called "name" with value "net0". When this occurs, we would like to put the service into a maintenance state, and when the administrator does "svcs -xv linkmgmtd" see something that indicates what went wrong. Is there a best practice for this? If so, what is it? thanks, Dan
