Hello:

The dladm command on my server (Solaris 10 10/09 s10x_u8wos_08a X86;
uname -a: SunOS 5.10 Generic_142901-10) differs from what is described
in the "System Administration Guide: Network Interfaces and Network
Virtualization". For example, I don't have the show-phys, show-ether,
or rename-link subcommands. In the ATTRIBUTES section at the end of
the dladm(1M) man page, I find the value "Evolving" for the attribute
"Interface Stability", while on an OpenSolaris computer the same
attribute has the value "Committed" and the subcommands I mention are
available.
Am I missing some patches or are there different SUNWcsr/csu packages
for different Solaris distributions (I installed the End User
distribution) ?

whatever these commands are, they don't exist for the real solaris.

I don't understand this. Do you mean that the aforementioned Sun guide
book does not refer to the actual Sun Solaris software ?

It looks like those features have not been backported from OpenSolaris
to Solaris 10.

I'm replying to both your comment and the OP's. First, on a SPARC-
based Sun Blade 1000:

jefferson# dladm show-link
eri0 type: legacy mtu: 1500 device: eri0
skge0 type: legacy mtu: 1500 device: skge0
jefferson# dladm show-dev
eri0 link: down speed: 0 Mbps duplex:
unknown
skge0 link: unknown speed: 1000 Mbps duplex:
unknown
jefferson# cat /etc/*se

Now, on a x86-based VM running inside a VMWare guest:
pdms-rpt-dev# dladm show-link
e1000g0 type: non-vlan mtu: 1500 device: e1000g0
pdms-rpt-dev# dladm show-dev
e1000g0 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
pdms-rpt-dev# cat /etc/*se

Use is subject to license terms.
Assembled 16 August 2007

I install "Full", not "End-User", and these are Solaris 10 downloaded
from Sun.

I don't have show-ether nor rename-link dladm commands, but they're
not in my man page either.

I finally discoverd the source of my mistake: the pdf document to
which I must have been directed while trawling the web belongs to the
opensolaris collection. As the title page features the Sun logo, I
thought it was a "genuine" solaris 10 document. It did not occur to me
that docs.sun.com was also hosting the opensolaris manuals.
Sorry for the trouble.
