Resolution

When using the GUI to configure a NIC resource verify all attributes have entries for the second NIC in the drop down list before saving.
A complete "per system" configuration example in /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf will look like the following:

NIC csgnic(
Device @qctipap4-a =eth0
Device @qctipap4-b =eth0
)

An incomplete "per system" configuration with one empty field produces the following entry in main.cf:

NIC csgnic(
Device @qctipap4-a =eth0
)

A verification attempt of either configuration (correct or incorrect) will successfully complete verification without errors.

When making modifications to fields using a "per system" configuration, it is a best practice to verify the main.cf file has been updated and that the new configuration is complete.
