For each file, the number <num> in the filename is determined according to
TABLE 2-1
adapter in the server requires a file named /etc/hostname.vge0. The second
adapter requires a file named /etc/hostname.vge1.
TABLE 2-1
First Adapter
/etc/hostname.vge0
2. Place the appropriate adapter host name into the hostname.vge<num> file(s).
The /etc/hostname.vge<num> file must contain the appropriate host name for
the adapter.
The host name should be different from that of any other interface. For example,
/etc/hostname.vge0 and /etc/hostname.vge1 cannot share the same host
name.
The following example depicts the host name files required for a machine called
zardoz, with four Sun GigabitEthernet adapters known as zardoz-11, zardoz-
12, zardoz-13, and zardoz-14 on the networks connected to the vge0, vge1,
vge2, and vge3 Ethernet devices.
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.vge0
zardoz-11
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.vge1
zardoz-12
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.vge2
zardoz-13
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.vge3
zardoz-14
3. For each host name, enter the appropriate IP address in the /etc/hosts file.
4. Reboot the system.
# reboot -- -r
If you make changes and put the system into service before rebooting, you may
experience configuration problems.
