Here is the step by step procedure to change/rename hostname on Solaris 11. In Solaris 10 all we know that we need to edit few files in order to change the hostname, but in Solaris 11 we need to change the hostname in SMF service level. Let we can start doing that.
Checking the SMF Services
root@unixrock_SOL11:~# svcs -a|grep -i node online 21:53:28 svc:/system/identity:node root@unixrock_SOL11:~#Checking the current property settings
root@unixrock_SOL11:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node svc:/system/identity:node> listprop config config application config/enable_mapping boolean true config/ignore_dhcp_hostname boolean true config/nodename astring unixrock_SOL11 config/loopback astring unixrock_SOL11 svc:/system/identity:node>Change/Rename the hostname entries
root@unixrock_SOL11:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node svc:/system/identity:node> svc:/system/identity:node> setprop config/nodename=unixrocks11 svc:/system/identity:node> setprop config/loopback=unixrocks11 svc:/system/identity:node>Verifying the changes
root@unixrock_SOL11:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node svc:/system/identity:node> listprop config config application config/enable_mapping boolean true config/ignore_dhcp_hostname boolean true config/nodename astring unixrocks11 config/loopback astring unixrocks11 svc:/system/identity:node>Restart the service to take effect the changes
root@unixrock_SOL11:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node refresh root@unixrock_SOL11:~# svcadm restart system/identity:node root@unixrock_SOL11:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config config application config/enable_mapping boolean true config/ignore_dhcp_hostname boolean true config/nodename astring unixrocks11 config/loopback astring unixrocks11 root@unixrock_SOL11:~# hostname unixrocks11 root@unixrock_SOL11:~#Cool and simple way to do the hostname changes in Solaris 11. You can see the changes while opening new session.
