Note:The procedures shown in the document shocould not be used on a system which is hosting a naming service, e.g ., NIS or NIS +. furthermore, any changes made only affect the local host and it may be necessary to update naming services to reflect these changes.

References to appropriate Solaris [TM] reference manual pages are given in square brackets in what follows. These may be viewed using the man (1) command with the following syntax.

# /usr/bin/man -s<section> <name>   

Where <section> shocould be replaced by the section of the manual and <name> shocould be replaced by the name of the man page. For example,

# /usr/bin/man -s4 hosts 
# /usr/bin/man -s7D ticotsord



Steps to Follow
Please follow the steps listed under each heading to accomplish the desired effect.

Changing the Hostname

1. Edit the following files and globally replace the old name with the new name as necessary.

  • /Etc/inet/hosts [hosts (4)]

  • /Etc/nodename [nodename (4)]

  • /Etc/hostname. <interface>

    Where <interface> is replaced by the name of the primary interface for the system, e.g ., "hme0 ". it is possible that this file contains an IP address instead of a name, if this is the case you may leave this file as it is unless you are also changing IP addresses (see below ).

2. If you are running a version of Solaris [TM] prior to 10 you shoshould also edit the following files.

  • /Etc/net/ticlts/hosts [ticlts (7D)]

  • Etc/net/ticots/hosts [ticots (7D)]

  • /Etc/net/ticotsord/hosts [ticotsord (7D)]

3. For Versions of Solaris [TM] later than 7, check the/etc/inet/ipnodes file [ipnodes (4)] and edit it appropriately.

4. Reboot the system.

Changing IP Addresses

1. Edit the/etc/inet/hosts file as necessary.

2. Check each interface configuration file and edit it as appropriate. These files may be listed using the find (1) command as follows.

  # /usr/bin/find /etc -name hostname.*

Note: Each file may contain a name rather that an IP address and may be left alone if this is the case.

2. If you are running a version of Solaris [TM] prior to 10 you shoshould also edit the following files.

  • /Etc/net/ticlts/hosts

  • Etc/net/ticots/hosts

  • /Etc/net/ticotsord/hosts

3. For Versions of Solaris [TM] later than 7, check the/etc/inet/ipnodes file and edit it appropriately.

4. If you changing IP addresses because the host has moved to a different subnet you may also need to amend the following files.

  • /Etc/inet/netmasks [netmasks (4)]

  • /Etc/defaultrouter [defaultrouter (4)]

  • /Etc/resolv. conf [resolv. conf (4)]

5. Reboot the system.
