How To Change The Hostname In Solaris
To change the hostname on a Solaris system, you should edit all of these files:
- /etc/hosts
- /etc/nodename
- /etc/hostname.*
- /etc/net/ticlts/hosts (this file is unused in Solaris 10 and above)
- /etc/net/ticots/hosts (this file is unused in Solaris 10 and above)
- /etc/net/ticotsord/hosts (this file is unused in Solaris 10 and above)
You should then reboot the server to test your changes and ensure that they operate correctly.
Some say to update “/etc/inet/ipnodes”, but that only contains the information for “localhost” and does not need to have any changes made to it.
