Hi all,
I have never wondered where is the mapping of the link names to physical device path display under
dladm show-phys
until today.
fmadm list reported nic port failure and i am trying to mapped it to the correct linkname in dladm show-link / dladm show-phys to see if the link is actually up and running or down.
I remember it used to be under /etc/dladm/ , so i went to list it
ls -la /etc/dladm/
total 29
drwxr-xr-x 2 netadm netadm 6 Oct 29 17:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 88 root sys 181 Oct 29 20:56 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 netcfg netadm 1296 Jun 14 16:06 datalink-Automatic.conf.obsolete
-rw-r--r-- 1 netcfg netadm 512 Sep 7 02:38 datalink-DefaultFixed.conf.obsolete
-rw-r--r-- 1 netcfg netadm 1564 Oct 27 14:30 datalink.conf.obsolete
-rw-rw---- 1 dladm netadm 186 Oct 27 14:08 secobj.conf
Everything has a .obsolete tag behind and i remember that i have recently updated to 11.4
So i went back to mount my old 11.3 boot environment and realize those files in the same path doesn't have a .obsolete behind.
So long story short,
a) do you guys on 11.4 have these .obsolete files as well ?
b) if these files are obsolete, where does 11.4 store these link-to-device information now ?

Noob
