I have a virtual machine running OpenIndiana. There are a lot of stories out there on how to enable static IP in OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana/Solaris 11 etc. Most of the involve turning NWAM off, now this isn’t the way you’re supposed to do it. There’s a much better and easier way, use nwamcfg.

That’s it. You now have a static IPv4 and a static IPv6 address. Don’t forget to add your other NICs, if you have more than one, to the same ncp. You don’t have to name your configuration Nickebo, it was what I named mine.
