Use this procedure to configure the network host files permanently. The new settings will be restored at each reboot.
Create a file named /etc/hostname.ixgbe# for each ixgbe interface.
where # is the interface’s instance number. In the new files, only insert a text hostname, then save and exit.
Edit the /etc/hosts file to include an IP address and hostname for each ixgbe interface (that is, for each /etc/hostname.ixgbe# file).
Boot the Solaris OS.
Now the ixgbe interfaces will be plumbed up automatically when you boot.
