[OpenIndiana-discuss] can't delete aggregate (dladm)

[Jason Matthews]

-t is temporary. Try rebooting. There is some chance you'll be back to where
you started ;-)

ok, disaster averted !

I tried a different flag the command I was using;
dladm delete-aggr -t aggr0 1

that allowed me to delete the virtual interface. Then, at that point I
was able to plum and unplumb the interfaces as per normal and recreate
the aggregate. It's all working now. Sorry for freaking out and
mailing the list! :) Don't want to burn up any good karma!

[root at openindiana:~] #dladm show-link
LINK        CLASS     MTU    STATE    BRIDGE     OVER
e1000g0     phys      9000   up       --         --
e1000g1     phys      9000   up       --         --
aggr1       aggr      9000   up       --         e1000g0 e1000g1

[root at openindiana:~] #ifconfig -a

[root at openindiana:~] #ping yahoo.com
yahoo.com is alive

This list is a very congenial/valuable resource and I don't want to
squander it.
