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
