Hi all,
Anyone know how to start network from the Solaris 10 x86 DVD? I've booted my VM via the DVD and chose option 6 to start single user shell. I've attempted to enable network to no avail:

Code:

# svcadm enable network/physical
# svcadm enable network/intial
# svcadm enable network/service

Suggestions?

Just plumb the network interface and configure its IP address.

Hello jlliagre, thanks for the info but what interface do i plumb? when I run ifconfig -a, it shows nothing

Code:

# ifconfig -a

thanks again.

You should be able to plumb all interfaces with...

Code:

ifconfig -a plumb

Then set the ip address

Code:

ifconfig ipge0 192.168.11.42 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig ipge0 -trailers up

Where "ipge0" is one of the interfaces that got plumb-ed
