With Solaris 11.1, you got a new feature ;) This will read your legacy written /etc/resolv.conf and configure the SMF service:

# nscfg import -f svc:/network/dns/client:default

Another nice feature to change SMF properties "editprop", but it only works for already defined parameters:

# svccfg -s svc:/network/dns/client:default editprop
-----
##
## Change property values by removing the leading '#' from the
## appropriate lines and editing the values. svccfg subcommands
## such as delprop can also be added to the script.
##

## Property group "config"

## The following properties inherit from the parent service
## (svc:/network/dns/client)

# setprop config/value_authorization = astring: solaris.smf.value.name-service.dns.client

##
## The value used to construct the "nameserver" directive in resolv.conf(4).
##
# setprop config/nameserver = net_address: 8.8.8.8


## Uncomment to apply these changes to this instance.
