Hi Roy,

That is what my post-install script does, and has worked well until now.
This is my first storage server build with the OpenIndiana release.

The nic was pingable, but the network was not.
dladm showed link, and packet tx and rx counts changed, but no joy 
connecting to the lan.
I've never encountered this before after many installs over the last few 
years.
After a reinstall, I used ipadm instead, as it is much easier, and 
everything was ok.

Supermicro AOC-USAS-L8i (LSI 1068) with IT mode firmware 1.30.
Old style naming convention, since it is a single port backplane.
I think the name is more about the multipath driver being present, which 
needs to use wwn for dual paths.

The only issue on device order is I don't get the first two slots as the 
first two drives on a cold boot, but do from a soft boot or reset.

The first IT mode controller I worked with had persistence enabled after 
I changed the firmware to IT.

This may be different for the SAS2.
I'll have the Supermicro equivalent (AOC-USAS2-L8e) to try in about a month.

It may be worth asking LSI about the issue.
