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/hostsÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â (this file is unused in Solaris 10 and above)
/etc/net/ticots/hosts Â Â Â (this file is unused in Solaris 10 and above)
/etc/net/ticotsord/hostsÂ (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.
