Solaris 11 : changing hostname

Starting with Solaris 11, a system's identify (nodename) is configured through theconfig/nodename service property of the svc:/system/identity:node SMF service. Solaris 10 and prior versions have this information in /etc/nodename configuration file.

The following example demonstrates the commands to change the hostname from "ihcm-db-01″ to "ehcm-db-01″.

eg.,

# hostname

ihcm-db-01

# svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config

config application

config/enable_mapping boolean true

config/ignore_dhcp_hostname boolean false

config/nodename astring ihcm-db-01

config/loopback astring ihcm-db-01

#

# svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/nodename="ehcm-db-01"

# svccfg -s system/identity:node refresh -OR-

    # svcadm refresh svc:/system/identity:node

# svcadm restart system/identity:node

# svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config

config application

config/enable_mapping boolean true

config/ignore_dhcp_hostname boolean false

config/nodename astring ehcm-db-01

config/loopback astring ehcm-db-01

# hostname

ehcm-db-01
