Answering myself: Looking at the FAQ
(http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/faq/;jsessionid=9D268D17DCBBBF3DD48F9D0F639FAEF0#ipinst_which_nic_not) I read "Only NICs supported by the Generic LAN Driver version 3 (GLDv3) are supported with IP Instances." and * Which NICs are known to work with IP Instances? o afe (nv build 73) o bge o dfme (nv build 73) o e1000g o eri (nv build 73) o hme (nv build 73) o iprb (nv build 73) o ixgb o mxfe (nv build 73) o nge o nxge o qfe (nv build 73) o rge o rtls (nv build 73) o xge o ath (nv only) Looking at the machine I see bash-3.00# dladm show-link hme0 type: legacy mtu: 1500 device: hme0 qfe0 type: legacy mtu: 1500 device: qfe0 qfe1 type: legacy mtu: 1500 device: qfe1 qfe2 type: legacy mtu: 1500 device: qfe2 qfe3 type: legacy mtu: 1500 device: qfe3 So it's obvious that the hme0 adapter is only supported in svn_73 for IP instances and the qfe adapter is not yet supported (but I read somewhere else that I can also use the hme driver for the qfe adapter). regards Bernd This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
