What's New in the Solaris 8 Operating Environment

Support for IPv6 in the System Identification Utilities

Systems can now be configured at install time to use IPv6 in addition to IPv4. There is currently no way to auto-detect IPv6, so users are asked at install time whether or not a system is to be configured to use IPv6 unless a user specifies that IPv6 be used in a sysidcfg file.

For more information, see the Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide.
