I thought sys-unconfig doesn't work properly on OpenSolaris Indiana. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I know when I got one of those Toshiba OpenSolaris laptops there was a mention somewhere in the release notes that said something to the effect of "DO NOT RUN sys-unconfig or it might brick your box!!!!" If you go to this link: http://www.opensolaris.com/toshibanotebook/relnotesOS2009.06.html you'll see where it says: sys-unconfig Corrupts System Configuration Data! Description: Do not use the sys-unconfig utility! The sys-unconfig utility is not supported for use by OpenSolaris systems. If used, it will corrupt system configuration data and will leave the system in an unknown state. If you want to configure the system with a static IP address, see Configuring the OpenSolaris OS With a Static IP Address. Workaround: To recover your system, reinstall the OS from the Live CD and the supplementary software components from the OpenSolaris repositories. See How to Install the OpenSolaris 2009.06 OS From the Live CD, How to Install Supplementary Software Packages (CLI), and How to Install Supplementary Software Packages (GUI). Configuring the OpenSolaris OS With a Static IP Address Description: The OpenSolaris OS comes with a default network configuration for a DHCP client. To use a static IP address instead, perform the additional configuration steps described in the workaround. Workaround: Perform the following steps from a terminal window to configure a static IP address: 1. In the terminal window, manually enable the default network interface: svcadm enable physical:default 2. In the terminal window, disable the network automagic interface: svcadm disable physical:nwam 3. Open the network configuration panel from the System->Administration->Network menu and do the following: 1. a. Click Manual to disable Automatic mode 2. b. Select the network connection to be configured 3. c. Click Properties 4. d. Set the values you want in the Interface Properties panel 5. e. Enable the device by setting the IP address, subnet, and default gateway 4. 4. In the terminal window restart the network services: svcadm restart milestone/network -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
