All, I have a new T4-4 with Solaris 10 01/13 and fully patched. It has a PCI
10GB card with two ports. If I setup a single port and configure
hostname.ixgbe0 and the host file is correct the interface fails to plumb
during boot time with the following error:



ixgbe1: DL_ATTACHED_REQ failed: DL_SYSERR (errno 22)
ixgbe1: DL_BIND_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE
ixgbe1: DL_PHYS_ADDRESS_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE
ixgbe1: DL_UNBIND_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE





If I don't have a hostname.ixgbe0 file and just let the system boot without a
configured interface I can then plumb the interface manually and all is well.
I have network connectivity.



I have tried using only an IP address in /etc/hostname.ixgbe0 with the same
problem. Also "getent hosts testserver" returns the correct line from the
/etc/hosts file.



modinfo tells me that I am running "Intel 10GB Ethernet 1.1.12" and cat -vte
/etc/hostname.ixgbe0 doesn't show any extra characters or spaces.



Thanks in advance,
