This section contains procedures that relate to administering systems that support dynamic reconfiguration (DR).
Note - The tasks pertain only to IP layers that are configured by using the ifconfig command. Layers before or after the IP layer, such as ATM or other services, require specific manual steps if the layers are not automated. The steps in the next procedures are used to unconfigure interfaces during predetachment and configure interface after postattachment.
This procedure shows how to remove a physical interface on a system that supports DR. The procedure assumes that the following conditions already exist:
Physical interfaces hme0 and hme1 are the example interfaces.
Both interfaces are in the same IPMP group.
hme0 has failed.
Logical interface hme0:1 has the test address.
You are replacing the failed interface with the same physical interface name, for example, hme0 with hme0.
Note - You can skip Step 2 if the test address is plumbed by using the /etc/hostname.hme0 file.
The Primary Administrator role includes the Primary Administrator profile. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
# ifconfig hme0:1 hme0:1: flags=9040842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4,NOFAILOVER> mtu 1500 index 3 inet 192.168.233.250 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.233.255
You need this information to replumb the test address when replacing the physical interface.
