S11 NV build Laptop

(1). Solaris Express, Developer version build installation
(2). If it is under SWAN, it will bypass a lot of setup to go straight with default
NIS process.
(3). It requires sys-unconfig process if you want change other things. Do not enable DHCP here
but use inetmenu

However, sys-unconfig will not give you option to change host name

So, it is important to get hostname change process.

To change the hostname on a Solaris system:

1. Change the hostname in /etc/nodename
2. Run uname -S new_hostname to change the nodename for your current session.
3. Change the hostname in /etc/hostname.network_interface (e.g. /etc/hostname.hme0)
4. Run hostname new_hostname to change the hostname for your current session.
5. Change the hostname in /etc/hosts
6. Change the hostname in /etc/net/*/hosts (/etc/net/ticlts/hosts, /etc/net/ticots/hosts, /etc/net/ticotsord/hosts)
for directory in ticlts ticots ticotsord
do
cd /etc/net/$directory
sed 's/old_hostname/new_hostname/g' hosts > hosts.new
mv hosts.new hosts
done
Solaris 7 or later additional instructions:
7. Change the hostname in DUMPADM_SAVDIR= line in /etc/dumpadm.conf

Solaris 10 additional instructions:
8. Change the hostname in /etc/inet/ipnodes
