    Is changing /etc/path_to_inst a good way?

    Hello All,

    I am unable to rename NIC name in Solaris 11.3 LDOM guest OS.
    I have recovered some of the production Solaris 11.3 Servers from T4 to T5 hardware in DR site via UAR image. Once I logged in to the servers, I noticed NIC name started from vnet2 and vent0 has disabled and Oracle cluster require exact IP configuration
    which is configured on Prod servers.
    I tried to enable vnet0 but it's throwing device not found error. if you have any solution please let me know.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Danish Inamdar

    From Solaris Cluster on S10 days, doing a flar of a cluster and
    expecting it to work was a no-no.

    I'd expect the same with archiveadm.

    Tweak the config files maybe ?

    Otherwise the only other route with SC is to either rebuild or
    de-cluster, create archive, and re-cluster.

    One trick that might work (having had some success in the past, is if
    you can get the OS to come up then uninstall the SC and re-install,
    using new devs.
    All scinstall info used at creation is in the logs.

    There is a command "dladm rename-link.

    Not sure if that can work if the link is in use.

    At home my Solaris nics are named "wlan0" "wired0" and "isp0".

    Long time since I installed and renamed them. Might require a boot
    or possibly changing the name in another boot environment (dladm rename-link has a -R <root> option)

    As a side-note I usually try apropos to find infrequently used commands.
    I tried "apropos network |grep -i interface" and dladm did not come up
    but "apropos interfaces |grep -i data |grep -v curs" found it.

    I occasionally use apropos.

    I tried "apropos network |grep -i interface" and dladm did not come up
    but "apropos interfaces |grep -i data |grep -v curs" found it.
    (Sometimes one needs to know beforehand.)

    However I've found that apropos (on Linux) seems to only search the
    description section of man pages. As such, it does not return results
    for search terms that appear outside of the description. :-/
