Solaris 10 - change IP address
newsgroups.comcast.net
I am trying to change the IP address on a Sun Ultra-10, with a fresh Solaris
10 installation.
(Solaris 10 was installed on another machine using a new hard drive to
replace the existing drives on the destination Ultra-10)
I try manually changing the address in /etc/hosts, ifconfig <new-ip> and
everything is fine until I reboot the machine, then it reverts back to the
original IP address.
I have also tried using the Solaris Management Console configured as the
Primary Administrator Role - this appears to do the same thing, changes the
IP address in /etc/hosts but does not set the address on the NIC (hme0).
The only method that seems to work is "sys-unconfig", then I have to
re-supply all the network information to include defaultrouter, resolv.conf,
etc.
There appears to be some new file somewhere that is referenced during the
boot process that is over-riding the value stored in /etc/hosts.
Can anybody offer any help with this?
Thanks,
Steve

That would be /etc/hostname.hme0 - normally containing the hostname, but
it can also contain the IP address (a bit faster at boot).

That would be /etc/inet/ipnodes .
