In this post i will share how to change hostname in Solaris 11.3 , i never test this way on other version but regarding to Oracle it will be working without any issue.
- as root user, list the current hostname using the below command :-
# svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config
config application
config/enable_mapping boolean true
config/ignore_dhcp_hostname boolean false
config/loopback astring
config/nodename astring solarisdb1
- change hostname to new one
# svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/nodename=”solarisdbnew1″
- Refresh and restart
# svcadm refresh system/identity:node
# svcadm restart system/identity:node
- Check the configuration
# svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config
Thank you
