Hi,
Hmm, what is the propper way to bring up an IP IF, which is admin. down?

A state of an IP interface is marked `down' if there are no addresses configured
on that interface or all the configured addresses on the interface is
administratively marked down (using ipadm down-addr or address was created using
`-d' switch). So to bring up an IP interface you would have to have at least one
address that is not administratively down.

ipadm: Could not enable home1 : Interface already exists

This is correct since home1 is already plumbed for both ipv4 and ipv6 as it is
evident from the `ipadm show-if' output.

ipadm: persistent operation not supported for enable-addr
admin.home ~> + ipadm enable-addr -t home1/intern
ipadm: could not enable address: Object not found

This should have worked. I presume nwam was disabled and you had not specified
any network configuration via /etc/hostname.home1. What does 'grep home1
/etc/ipadm/ipadm.conf' say?

+ ipadm disable-if -t home1
+ ipadm delete-if home1
+ ipadm create-addr -T static -a home/24 home1/intern

Another way is to just do,
# ipadm delete-addr home1/intern
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a home/24 home1/intern

thanks

however, this seems pretty strange and I guess, many people will not
even find this workaround when getting into trouble ...
BTW: This happend when installing the latest updates after an 'init 6'.
