[OpenIndiana-discuss] Change IP Address for a zone.

You wouldn't happen to have a hostname.routert3.vnic0 file in /etc, by any chance?

If I'm not wrong, that should contain an IP address if that were the case, reverting you to the original IP when you boot the zone.

Just a thought.

Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Change IP Address for a zone.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I try this in the routert3 zone:

ipadm delete-if routert3.vnic0
ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.0.42/24 routert3.vnic0/v4static

(Changing it to 42 instead of 3, for now.)

And I reboot the zone, I get:

root at routert3.ds:~# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8
routert3.vnic0/_a static   ok           192.168.0.41/24
routert3.vnic3/_a static   ok           192.168.3.41/24
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128
routert3.vnic0/v4static static disabled 192.168.0.42/24
root at routert3.ds:~#

Then if I delete it:

root at routert3.ds:~# ipadm delete-if routert3.vnic0

And reboot the zone, I end up right where I started:

root at routert3.ds:~# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8
routert3.vnic0/_a static   ok           192.168.0.41/24
routert3.vnic3/_a static   ok           192.168.3.41/24
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128
root at routert3.ds:~#
