Which statement is true regarding the replacement of the hardware interface?

You detected a failure of net0 in the IPMP group named ips1. The server hosting the failed NIC
supports dynamic reconfiguration. Which statement is true regarding the replacement of the
hardware interface?

You detected a failure of net0 in the IPMP group named ips1. The server hosting the failed NIC
supports dynamic reconfiguration. Which statement is true regarding the replacement of the
hardware interface?

A.
The NIC must be replaced with an identical physical interface card type.

B.
The NIC will be configured after replacement with the dladm command.

C.
The devfsadm command will be used to discover the replacement NIC.

D.
The replacement NIC must occupy the same bus slot as the original NIC .

Explanation:
When an underlying interface of an IPMP group fails, a typical solution would be to
replace the failed interface by attaching a new NIC. RCM records the configuration information
associated with any NIC that is detached from a running system. If you replace a failed NIC with
an identical NIC, then RCM automatically configures the interface according to the persistent
configurations that had been previously defined by using the ipadm command.
Incorrect:
Not A, not D: You can replace a failed NIC with a different NIC, provided that both are the same
type, such as Ethernet. In this case, RCM plumbs the new interface after it is attached. If you did
not use customized link names when you first configured your interfaces, then you will have to
configure the new NIC before you can add the interface to the IPMP group.
Not C: devfsadm, devfsadmd- administration command for /dev and /devices
Note:
* 1. On the system with the IPMP group configuration, assume the Primary Administrator
role or become superuser.
2. Display the test address configuration
3. Remove the physical interface.

4. Replace the physical interface.

Not C because:
Restrict operations to devices of class device_class.
Solaris defines the following values for device_class:
disk, tape, port, audio, and pseudo. This option might
be specified more than once to specify multiple device
classes.
Not A and D. You can use other than faulty NIC.

B is correct
