Daer Craig, Toomas and all other who offered advice...

I am not yet totally sure what final sequence of hacking
working, but I just manage to get "private interconnect"
wokking on Solaris 11!!

I copied in /etc/init.d/dhcp into a local directory

I then bodged  utadm  to pick up my local copy..

then I bodged around trying to get the -A option working...

then I tried to look at dhcp with dhtadm and pntadm
but only had bits of stuff and...

Then I hacked about with some  /etc/hostname.net?  files
then I removed one, then I messed about with /etc/inet/hosts

and then I thought I would have a final go at running
my bodged utadm with the   -a  option again....

and, suddenly things seems to be playing the game...

then I did   utstart -c

and then I went and restart one of my SunRays...

first attempt it latched on to my (other) Solaris 10
server, then I tried again, and this time it latched on the the Solaris 11
server, updated its firmware, then gave a log on display
and then I logged in to Solaris 11, on a private interconnect
from a SunRay!!

I had been taking copious notes, but then as frustration
rose, I dropped into "hacking" and only taking partial notes!

I now need to look back carefully through my bash history file and try
to decide what caused it to finally work!

I will then revert back to an earlier BE, make a new
one and then try to repeat the final steps again
taking proper notes again!  I will not destroy my "current" BE and then if
things go pear-shaped I can come back to this and
try to spot differences.

So, I am now MUCh more happy, but frustrated that I allowed
myself to drop into "hacking" and ceasing to take proper notes!

More tomorrow, nearly 8pm here in the UK so I think
I have had enough and I may stop before I go
and break something!
