How do I Change a hostname on Solaris?

Solaris makes it unreasonably difficult to change the hostname of an installed server.


To change the hostname on a Solaris system, you should edit all of these files:

/etc/hosts
/etc/nodename
/etc/hostname.*
/etc/net/ticlts/hosts
/etc/net/ticots/hosts
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts
/etc/inet/ipnodes
You should then reboot the server to test your changes and ensure that they operate correctly.
