I'm new with Solaris. I cloned a Solaris 11 machine and now I'm trying to change it so that it gets the hostname and DNS name from a DHCP client. I tried following the instructions here: https://blogs.oracle.com/VDIpier/entry/solaris_11_changing_the_hostname but when reconnecting to the console I get the old hostname.

Maybe you're just seeing an unchanged /etc/issue or something like that? When you log in again, and run hostname, does it show the new hostname? If so, that's it.

no, I still see the old hostname, even though I made the changes for nodename and loopbackfurni– furni2015-06-05 11:42:10 +00:00Commented Jun 5, 2015 at 11:42
