5. Complete the client installation. Refer to your Solaris documentation for
detailed instructions.
6. Reboot the system.
7. Install the software drivers from the CD-ROM that came with the
SunSwift SBus Adapter. Refer to the CD-ROM documentation that came
with your adapter for driver installation instructions
(Part No: 804-5303-10).
After installing the SunSwift SBus Adapter software, you must create a
hostname.hme<num> file for its Ethernet interface. You must also create both
an IP address and a hostname for its Ethernet interface in the /etc/hosts file.
To prepare your system for the SunSwift SBus Adapter:
1. Create a /etc/hostname.hme<num> file, where <num> refers to the
number of each SunSwift SBus Adapter channel you plan to use. For
example, use channel hme0 for the first card; use channel hme1 for a
second card.
•
Do not create /etc/hostname.hme<num> files for SunSwift SBus Adapter
channels you plan to leave unused. The /etc/hostname.hme<num> file
must contain the hostname for the appropriate network interface.
•
The hostname should have an IP address and should be entered in the
/etc/hosts file.
•
The hostname should be different from any other hostname of any other
interface, for example: /etc/hostname.le0 and /etc/hostname.hme0
cannot share the same hostname.
•
Following is an example of the /etc/hostname.hme<num> files required
for a machine called zardoz that will be known as zardoz-11 and
zardoz-12 on the networks connected to the hme0 and hme1 Ethernet
interfaces.
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme0
zardoz-11
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme1
zardoz-12
