is there a way to disable an unused NIC (so it doesn't generate warnings in SMH for example)?
I would like to disable unused/unplugged lan1 on an nPar in an rx7640 for examle:
# ioscan -fnkC lan
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
========================================================================
lan 0 1/0/1/1/0/6/0 iether CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB290-60001 PCI/PCI-X 1000Base-T 2-port U320 SCSI/2-port 1000B-T Combo Adapter
lan 1 1/0/1/1/0/6/1 iether CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB290-60001 PCI/PCI-X 1000Base-T 2-port U320 SCSI/2-port 1000B-T Combo Adapter

Re: How to disable a NIC on 11i v3?
You may remove the device file using 'rmsf' ( not recommended)
This will be effective till your next reboot or next 'insf'.
enjoy..

You must try SMH.

Re: How to disable a NIC on 11i v3?
Maybe somebody remembers what SAM used to do to disable NIC's?
On the other hand, nwmgr --disable / --delete doesn't work:
# nwmgr --disable -c lan1
ERROR: Unsupported operation: --disable
For detailed help, type 'nwmgr -h [-v] -c lan
see the man page: nwmgr_igelan (1M).
Thanks & best Regards,
Arnold

Solution1.) ifconfig lan1 0.0.0.0
2.) ifconfig lan1 unplumb
3.) remove all configuration lines associated with lan1 from /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.
After this, the only way to disable it any further would be to remove the driver from the kernel. As the driver obviously is used by your other NICs too, removing the driver is not possible.

Re: How to disable a NIC on 11i v3?
the interface is unused and never has been enabled, so no unconfiguration possible there (apart from rmsf the NIC device that would solve the problem until the next reboot).
It seems that for monitoring purposes maybe an Ethernet loopback connector would help to neutralize the warnings in SMH/SIM.

Arnold
