Hi, I created some vnics on my opensolaris laptop to use them later on with zones and virtualbox (connected via etherstub). The bad thing is, that every time I boot up my OpenSolaris and nwam starts, it plumb''s all vnics into the global zone. And so I can not use these vnics for zones with excl. ip-instance. Has anyone managed what to do, that nwamd ignores these vnic''s ? Thanks Detlef
Hi Detlef,
you''re encountering Bug # 6776009 nwam doesn''t bring up pseudo
data-links at boot time.
The fix is in progress.
In the meantime, the workaround suggested by Mike Lim works.
Kais.

Kais, thanks for the note. But this is not, what I wanted to achieve. The question is, that assuming I have already a created vnic in the global zone, but nwamd should on startup *not* plumb this vnic into the global zone. I want to keep that vnic unplumbed, so that my exclusive IP-Zone can later on use this "free" vnic a interface. Typically nwamd plumbs all network interfaces it finds, and so vnics too, and plumbs them with IP-address 0.0.0.0 into the global zone. But then all these interfaces are "lost" for later use as interfaces in exclusive-IP zones. Any ideas here ? How does others handle this ?

I''d recommend bringing this up on nwam-discuss. -- meem
