Got various answers - the reasons for my problem were: 1. Solaris 8 doesn't support 802.1q on bge interfaces 2. Work around was editing /etc/path_to_install to change the instnace numbers from 0 to 2000, 1 to 2001 and so on. Reboot after that. Thanks to everyone who answered.

We use bge0 and 3 for ipmp and virtual ip. Networking team decided to use .1q trunking and we have to rename the interfaces to reflect the vlan id. To do this - 1. We modify /etc/hosts to reflect new interface names (bge0 to bge2000 and bge3 to bge2003) 2. We renamed interfaces files (/etc/hostname.bge0 and bge3 to /etc/hostname.bge2000 and bge2003) 3. We edit /etc/hostname.bge2000 and /etc/hostname.bge2003 file to reflect the name of new interface name (lucas-bge0-ipmp to llucas-bge2000-ipmp and so) When we reboot the system, it gives the error: ip_rput_dlpi(bge2000): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_ATTACH_REQ(11), errno 8, unix 0 ip_rput_dlpi(bge2000): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_BIND_REQ(1), errno 3, unix 0 ip_rput_dlpi(bge2000): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_PHYS_ADDR_REQ(49), errno 3, unix 0 ip_rput_dlpi(bge2000): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_UNBIND_REQ(2), errno 3, unix 0 ip_rput_dlpi(bge2000): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_DETACH_REQ(12), errno 3, unix 0 ifconfig: SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: bge2000: no such interface ip_rput_dlpi(bge2003): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_ATTACH_REQ(11), errno 8, unix 0 ip_rput_dlpi(bge2003): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_BIND_REQ(1), errno 3, unix 0 ip_rput_dlpi(bge2003): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_PHYS_ADDR_REQ(49), errno 3, unix 0 ip_rput_dlpi(bge2003): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_UNBIND_REQ(2), errno 3, unix 0 ip_rput_dlpi(bge2003): DL_ERROR_ACK for DL_DETACH_REQ(12), errno 3, unix 0 ifconfig: SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: bge2003: no such interface moving addresses from failed IPv4 interfaces: bge2000 (couldn't move, no alternative interface) bge2003 (couldn't move, no alternative interface). ifconfig -a doesnt show any interface except lo0. Any clue, what I am missing?
