Solaris 7 Sun Hardware Platform Guide

Configuring the Domain Network Information

  1. Log in to the SSP as superuser.

  2. Manually edit the /etc/hosts file to include the IP address of the new domain.

    The correct entries would look similar to the following /etc/hosts sample:


    129.153.49.185  tacos
    127.0.0.1       localhost
    129.153.49.179  snax-ssp vegetables   loghost
    129.153.49.181  snax-cb0
    129.153.49.182  snax-cb1
    129.153.49.180  pizza
    129.153.49.183  chips
    129.153.49.1    marvin-49
    110.0.0.1       vegetables-priv
    110.0.0.5       chips-priv

    The /etc/hosts file is actually a link to ./inet/hosts.


    Caution - Caution -

    If the new domain entry follows any other host or SSP entry, the add_install_client command may not work in Step 1 in "Preparing the SSP for the Fresh Install".


  3. Manually edit the /etc/ethers file to include the Ethernet address of the new domain.

    The correct entries would look similar to the following /etc/ethers sample:


    8:0:20:87:58:a5         snax-ssp vegetables
    0:0:be:01:00:1e         snax-cb0
    0:0:be:01:00:57         snax-cb1
    0:0:be:a6:50:2f         pizza
    0:0:be:a6:6f:19         chips-priv
    0:0:be:a6:6f:23         nachos
    0:0:be:a6:6f:2a         tacos
