  2. Set up the server's boot file.

  3. Set up the server's named.ca file.

  4. Set up the server's hosts file.

  5. Set up the server's hosts.rev file.

  6. Set up the server's named.local file.

  7. Initialize the server.

  8. Test the server.

    These steps are explained in more detail in Solaris Naming Setup and Configuration Guide.
