Create /etc/hostname.ixgbe# Files

Use this procedure to configure the network host files permanently. The new settings will be restored at each reboot.

1. 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.

2. Edit the /etc/hosts file to include an IP address and hostname for each ixgbe interface (that is, for each /etc/hostname.ixgbe# file).

3. Boot the Solaris OS.

   Now the ixgbe interfaces will be plumbed up automatically when you boot.
