Renaming HOSTNAME on newly installed Solaris 10

Hello All,
I come from a linux environment and want to learn Solaris. So far the knowledge that I know from linux is not working for renaming the hostname of my newly installed Solaris system. I'm read (and reread) the Systems Administration Advanced doc from Sun and followed everything there was about renaming the hostname.
The problem is that, even though I've followed these instructions to the letter, the name keeps comming up as 'unknown' at the login screen (and at boot-up).
Question:
Is there a way to change the hostname so that it appears correctly at the login screen (and boot-up)? If so, how is this done manually and/or throught the GUI.
NOTE: My system is configured to be a DHCP client and to use DNS.
What I've done so far:
* I've checked the /etc/nodename, but I don't have one. (I didn't create one either)
* Added hostname to:
* /etc/hostname.bge0 (*.bge0 is name of my interface)
* /etc/inet/hosts
* /etc/inet/ipnodes
* Also checked /etc/hosts (same as /etc/inet/hosts)
* Rename /var/crash/unkown to /var/crash/[new-host-name]
Any insight will be appreciated.
Thanks,
JoeRubio

I had the exact same problem and was able to fix it by looking at these postings. Check them out and if you have any questions, just let me know and I'll try to answer what I can.
On this link pay special attention to what willybob71 says. His information really helped me out a lot:
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=68789&tstart=135
Some example files you can take a look at:

Notes on networking:

BTW, I have a router that I'm using so if you don't use one, some of these things may not apply to your situation...anyways, hope these links help.
Good Luck

  • Yesterday iTunes worked - today, it acts like it's newly installed (won't show any of my music or playlists) - what could have made it forget everything it knew yesterday and how can I fix it without having to redo all my previous work?

    The title says it all.  iTunes was working fine last night.  I added some more music to my playlists and synched my iPod last night, then shut down.  Today, when I start iTunes it opens up a welcome to setup screen and acts like it wants me to answer questions to configure it for the first time.  When I cancel out of that, it opens up a normal iTunes screen that's completely empty of music and has none of my custom playlists (all the playlists it does show are empty) and it's asking me if I want to have it search my PC and add media files, as if it's newly installed and that's never been done.
    Has anybody seen this behavior before, and is there some simple way I can fix it so it remembers all the stuff it knew last night, without having to start all over again and rebuild all my playlists and stuff?

    For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Installing Solaris 7 - timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet

    I'm attempting to install Solaris 7 on and E250. I'm using HyperTerminal connection via a null modem cable. I boot up the server and I see various harware init processes echoed to the terminal and then I receive this error: Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
    I have connected the nic card to a network connection.
    any help would be appreciated.
    Steve

    This is because you HAVE a network connection. You can resolve this with 1 of the following 2 methods:
    A:
    disconnect the network cable and reconnect when the installation process gets to the prompt for hostname.
    B:
    1. Get to the OK prompt
    2. setenv diag-device disk
    3. reset

  • Installing Solaris 9  on  1850r w/SmartArray 221

    I am in the midst of attempting to install Solaris 9 x-86 on a Compaq Proliant 1850r with a SmartArray 221 RAID controller. As Compaq has not released any drivers for Solaris 9 for intel, I was forced to try to use the Solaris 8 SmartArray driver for the 221 controller. The install program accepts the Solaris 8 221 driver during the first part of the install. It finds the array, and begins copying files to it. However at the end of the GUI portion of the install, after it has successfully written to the drives, the setup program opens a window prompting me to re- insert the driver diskette. When I put in the disk containing the smartii driver which setup recognized, and successfully used to write to the disks earlier in the install, I get a message informing me that the smartii driver is not located on the disk. I have repeated the procees, re-downloaded the driver disk, also tried with the solaris 7 x-86 driver all with the same result. Has anyone found a way to make this work? Please post any solutions to this issue. Thanks

    I had exactly the same problem trying to install Solaris 9 x86 onto a Compaq ML530 with a SmartArray 431 controller.
    The problem is that Compaq haven't updated the drivers for Solaris 9. So, for the driver to work on the Solaris 9 install you will have to make some changes to the DU diskette.
    The reason that the installer cannot find the driver on the diskette the second tome around, is that it is looking for the 2.9 version of the driver and not the 2.8 version of the driver that is on the diskette.
    What you have to do is to rename the a: \DU\sol_28 directory on the diskette, to a:\DU\sol_29
    Next you have to edit the a:\DU\release.def file and change the number 28 in that file to the number 29
    Having done these two things, the installer should now accept the Driver on the diskette and you should be able to complete the installation successfully.

  • Unable to install Solaris 10 for intel on IDE hard disk?

    I was trying to install solaris on an 80 GB IDE HDD with
    AMD 32 bit ,XP2000 cpu, 1024 MB RAM using a DVD rom
    drive with the first/second solaris os install CD.
    BUT after 2nd CD , i got the message 'Short Read/Read Error'
    after the GRUB boot loader screen.
    Repeated after formatting disk using Red Hat linux (linux installed successfully on same disk/machine without problems) but even then
    when i retried installing solaris 10, it failed with same error.
    Same set of CDs installed successfully on intel xeon server with
    1 GB RAM, 32 GB SCSI HDD.
    Does solaris install on IDE hard disks on intel 32 bit PCs?
    pl help/

    Sometimes it's possible to use drivers for older Solaris x86 systems
    to install the latest Solaris x86 release.
    http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/family/model/2543.html?submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us
    To do that, you have to modify HP's ITU floppy. For Solaris 10 x86,
    rename the DU/sol_2X directory on HP's floppy to DU/sol_210 .

  • Hard disk problem after installing Solaris 10 u5 on a Sun Ultra 24

    Hi.
    After receiving a new Sun Ultra 24, shipped with Solaris 10 u4, the first thing I did was installing Solaris 10 u5. X wouldn't start but that was not a big problem and installed it in text mode. Installation went fine but, when the system starts, a single beep is heard and after some seconds some warning message appear on the console, before the "Hostname: ..." message, informing that some read operation on my hard disk had timed out and were aborted. The system then starts up normally. The only other anomaly is that the diagnostic partition in unbootable.
    I ran the hard disk tests from the tools and drivers CDs and all of the tests were passed. Solaris 10 u4 was working normally so I'm wondering if this may be a bug.
    Thanks for your help,
    Enrico.

    Thanks anyway, I discovered what the problem was: a bug in Solaris 10 u5:

  • Installing solaris 9 without mouse?

    Hello. I have an old ultrasparc U2 kit with dual 333MHz processor. When I obtain this kit it has Linux installed. There is also a sun mouse that looks square and has 3 buttons, but the mouse is very very old (probably more then 7 years old) and extremely difficlut to use, thus I use a new serial mouse and though away the sun mouse.
    Later I decide to install solaris 10, failed to start (reason: OBP version too low) I try to install solaris 9. After the first install CD finished, a small 'solaris' system is said to be installed on hdd and system rebooted to go on installation. After reboot, CDE start and the box ask my hostname, and I cannot go on any more.
    Because I don't have mouse, I cannot click 'Next'. I can jump to the textfield (by TAB) where I can enter hostname, and I can never jump out of textfield. Press TAB, Enter, space... none of them works. It seems CDE is not like typical Gnome or Windows that you could switch focus by press tab repeatedly.
    If there is no way to click 'Next', then I would have to pick up Linux again, which is a trouble for me (for lack of good JRE and Flash player). It's very difficult for me to buy another sun mouse. Any suggestions?

    Now I got a bit further. I upgraded OBP by using solaris 9 software CD1, without mouse. Now I have OBP that is compatible with solaris 10
    I begin to install solaris 10, the same result: I cannot use mouse to move focus to the first dialog about what language I prefer to use.
    it's soo much trouble to work with ultra-sparc ----- every thing are non-standard...

  • Not able to Install Solaris 8 Binary License Program

    HI,
    I downloaded the Solaris Binary License Program.
    I cut a Installation CD and 2 Software CD's. All the way i did as per the instruction given in the solaris site.
    Now the problem is i tried to install in the fresh machine.
    when i tried to install nothing is happening.
    Is there any boot disk needed in this place.
    Or please assist me to get this work done.
    My email id is [email protected]
    Expecting a detail discussion on this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Senthil.

    Hi Senthil,
    Step 1:Download the 3 CD image files in the zip format from the Sun site.
    Step 2:Unzip the files(I used Winzip version 8.0). Step 3:Rename the files with the .iso ext.(If you are going to use the Easy CD creator) Step 4:Start Easy CD Creator and select for DATA CD. Step 5:From the File option select "Create CD from Cd image" Step 6:Select the image file with .iso extension. I used Write speed as 2x300kb/sec and the option Test and Create Cd. Under the Advanced option used Close Disc. After the copying was done I had the following:
    1.Cd labeled"multi_ICD_SOL_8_U3_SPARC(bootable CD) having the following files volume ,ADD_INSTALL_CLIENT ,BOOT, Copyright Modify_Install_Server
    2.Sol_8_U3_sparc(CD 1 of 2) having following files and folders:
    _volume.inf, _slicema, _install, _cdtoc ,Solaris(folder)of size 495 mb. I was able to boot the machine and load the O.S) .This should work,make sure that you make a small dos partition and
    make it active before you start installing Solaris 8 or else the installer will come out giving you any error"Unable to find specified disks"
    Let me know the outcome of this procedure.I had tried this my self and it was working.
    If it does not work let me know what kind of m/c and cdrom are you using.

    There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
    The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
    If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem.  You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

  • Firefox crashes for unknown reason lately, so I removed it and reinstalled it. How can I put my Favorites (bookmarks) back into the newly installed FireFox???

    Firefox crashes a few times when I was on Facebook and with email, also watching dramas online. Most of the time due to Adobe Flash and I did submit crash report. Later it crashes for unknown reason while I have email and Facebook on different tabs -- when I was on the tab of email, it looks system hang and not responding. This happened to my laptop that uses Windows Vista as I noticed. I don't remember it ever happens to my desktop that uses Windows XP.
    It's pretty annoying of such known crash, but before removing Firefox, I did try to update all add-ons or plugins and it looks like doesn't work out. After updating for couple times and it still crashed like that, I removed Firefox and reinstall it.
    '''Now I want to know how to put the shortcuts from my Favorite folder into the newly installed FireFox's bookmarks.''' I didn't backup the bookmarks by using Firefox. I even went to Firefox help for instructions, but it only mentions how to merge/input the bookmarks from other browsers. Please note the version I've removed and inrestalled is the same -- 3.6.13.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • How do I get A newly installed Scanner to show up in " IMPORT "

    How do I get a newly installed Cannonscan8800F Scanner to show up in " IMPORT "

    What installing the twain plug-in, you mean? Go to your applications folder. Find the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 folder. Look in there for a folder called support files, then for a folder called optional plugins. In the Optional Plugins folder, there should be a folder called ImportModules. Just drag that from the Optional Plugins folder to the regular Plugins folder.
    This will be infinitely easier to do if you put your applications folder window into list view, not the default icon view. To do that, click this button at the top of the window:
