how to change host name on 11.3

3251904Aug 10 2016 — edited Aug 25 2016

Dear Professionals;

I am trying to change host name on Solaris 11.3, but I got error as follows.

svccfg -s svc:/system/identity:node setprop config/nodename = xxxx　OR svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/nodename = xxxx

svccfg: No such property group "config".

Changing host name was succeeded on 11.2 version.

I appreciate if you have any hints.

Regards,

svcs -a|grep -i node

svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config

In this case, I need to add something?

Check that your identity node is online.

Hi,

I appreciate if you let me know how I can check with identity status??

If the status is offline, please let me know about next step.

Thank you!

Hi,

Here is the result.  node is online now.

Here's the step .

svcs -a identity:node                                                      #Check identity node must be online .
svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config                            #Check current environment properties
svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/nodename="my-new-hostname"  #Change hostname
svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/loopback="my-new-hostname"  #Change hostname
svccfg -s system/identity:node refresh                                    #Refresh the properties
svcadm restart system/identity:node                                        #Restart the service
svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config    #Verify changes

According to the hostname(1) manpage, you should be able to just use the command "hostname my-new-hostname" and it will make the change permanent.

And now to advertise that the documentation that is available on-line is also very helpful:

I also searched the Solaris 11.3 on-line documentation set for the phrase "change host name".  9th link down:

How to Change a System's Identity

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E53394_01/html/E54798/gkhbr.html#scrolltoc

The "Transitioning from Solaris 10 to Solaris 11.3" guide also states this:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E53394_01/html/E54838/gnwqz.html

Please reply if the the "hostname" command does not work.
