'utadm -A' will do all of that, if you tell it to. '-A' can do
almost everything that '-a' can do. The distinction is that '-a'
tells SRSS that you're configuring a dedicated Sun Ray interconnect
while '-A' tells it that you're configuring a subnet on your shared
intranet. The tiny divergences in behaviour between '-a' and '-A'
all stem from that distinction. Those divergences include:
* '-a' wants an interface name because it wants to ensure that
the interconnect really does meet the requirement of being
directly attached to this machine. '-A' just wants a subnet
number, it doesn't care about interfaces because it knows that
the subnet may not be directly attached, it understands that
the subnet will be reachable through the magic of IP routing.
* '-a' will let you specify a netmask because the interconnect
is a local concern. Maybe you're doing something that clashes
with an enterprise-wide (eg NIS) netmask setting but that's OK
because the interconnect is private and doesn't have to match
any enterprise-wide settings. '-A' won't let you override a
netmask locally because it knows that the rules for this subnet
should be consistent across the intranet, and giving this host
its own unique notion of this subnet's netmask is bad juju.
Of course you can trick '-A' by vi'ing /etc/netmasks yourself,
but '-A' will not abet you in that kind of tomfoolery.
* '-A' has the side effect of performing '-L on'
Those are the big ones. I've probably missed a couple.
Brad (assuming you read this far without being driven into sleep):
what's missing from the Admin Guide discussion, other than a properly
integrated explanation of the DNS/TFTP changes introduced in 3.1?
