a few solaris questions
I am some what new to solaris but familiar with other *nix and I am having trouble finding as much documentation as with Freebsd or Linux,I have tryed google and still have several questions about this OS so i can decided whether to use and learn Solaris9 or to just use Freebsd for my needs.
I am using a SPARC20 preloaded with solaris 9 and 128MB ram, which i got off ebay a few months ago, here are some of my questions. . . How can I permanently set the ip-address ? what files can i edit so the ip-address stays the same even after i reboot. What type of compressed files should I get sources in? tar/bzip ect. How can I run solaris9 without the gui ? Where can i find good solaris guides or documentation ? Thanks seejay |
I only know Solaris 8, but these links can help you:
http://docs.sun.com I prefer binaries from http://www.sunfreeware.com Without the gui: Telnet or by serial/RS232. |
If you do the sys-unconfig command All network settings will be remmoved and it will ask you for the correct ones chose static IP and so on Hope everything works out

Hi,
The problem about running sys-unconfig, is you need to ensure you have all the details written down first.With this done its probably the best way round the problem if your new to solaris and want a quick fix. However you can fix it by hand with just a few simple config files. The file you'll need to edit are : /etc/netmasks /etc/hostname.{interface} /etc/hosts put the subnet mask in the netmasks file. create the /etc/hostname.{interface name} (see ifconfig -a) and put a hostname in it. edit /etc/hosts put the ip address of the interface and the hostname you used above. it should be that simple, don't forget to look at /etc/resolv.conf as well if you want some sort of DNS resolution. |
You shoul modify, too, the /etc/net/tic???/hosts.
