trouble with nevada and network setup .. hostname.xy not recognized
After installing snv70 I was wondering why the usual way to configure the ethernet interfaces did not work anymore. /etc/hostname.e1000g1 eg. wasn't even touched during boot. Placing /etc/dhcp.<interfacename> had no effect. After some wasted time I found out that project nwam (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/nwam/) was hitting me.
Getting back to old school configuration Solaris network:
Before:
root@snv70 ~ $ svcs physical
STATE STIME FMRI
online 10:31:43 svc:/network/physical:nwam
disabled 10:31:51 svc:/network/physical:default
*clickaticlack*
root@snv70 ~ $ svcadm disable /network/physical:nwam
root@snv70 ~ $ svcadm enable /network/physical:default
After:
root@snv70 ~ $ svcs physical
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled 10:31:43 svc:/network/physical:nwam
online 10:31:51 svc:/network/physical:default
.. back to normal..
