anyone know how to enable a ip at startup on S10 ?
# ifconfig <interface> auto-dhcp
i thought would do that !
create a file like "/etc/interfacename.dhcp"
On some servers, you can do that from the ALOM or SC. if not ,as DukeNude2 suggested, perform the following:
touch /etc/hostname.hme0
touch /etc/hme0.dhcp
in the file /etc/nsswitch.conf You'll have to add dns after files at the host
entry (see /etc/nsswitch.dns) "hosts files dns"
Then You have to add the nameserver(s) in /etc/resolv.conf (may have to create it first)
Example for resolv.conf:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.2
reboot and verify
nothing doing!
- have touched hme0.dhcp & dhcp.hme0, <hostname>.dhcp
- nsswitch.conf ; hosts: files dns
- nsswitch.dns: hosts: files dns
- # svcadm enable dns/client (was disabled)
- /etc/hosts ; <ip>. loghost <hostname>
i'm sure i'm mssing something but dhcp sdoesn't start manually (is effective on # ifconfig <interface> auto-dhcp
if the service is disabled, you can do a svcs -xv to check any dependencies that is disabling it from starting i guess....
dhcp.hme0 and <hostname>.dhcp make no sense.
Is your network interface name "hme0" ?
sorry guys.. my typo.. it should be /etc/<interface>.dhcp
Yes, i got a little confused about that to but assume it was a typr & meove the file anyway -nothing happing....
I have multiple interfaces with the primary interface having a DHCP flag & the necessary interface not actually hme0) not. The primary interface has been dveloping drop off connections - it's brand new
Anyway, i cut things short by doing the drastic ( sys-unconfig )even though solaris supports dhcp on multiple interfaces
Problem sovled, not the right way
