Nexenta, being based on OpenSolaris is a little different than Redhat Linux. It takes a few steps to establish a static IP address manually. Belenix has a nice little how to: [url]http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Belenix_FAQ#How_do_I_configure_a_static_IP_Address_and_setup_networking_.3F [/url] Basically: 1) insert your host name in /etc/nodename 2) update /etc/hosts with the hostname and static IP address 3) determine your network interface (ifconfig -a) and create a file /etc/hostname.<your network interface> e.g. hostname.rtls0 4) populate /etc/hostname.<your network interface> with the hostname 5) set up your default router e.g. echo 192.168.0.1 > /etc/defaultrouter 6) set up /etc/resolv.conf with your DNS server entries 7) edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to make sure hosts uses both file and dns 8) rename /etc/dhcp.<your network interface> to something that doesn't start with dhcp. If you don't, dhcp will likely attempt to plumb the network connection for you. The above also works for establishing a static IP address in a zone. Now that you see what is involved. Instead with Nexenta, try going to the System|Administration|Networking menu. This will bring up a gui what with a few clicks will let you set up a static IP in the global zone (the main one you automatically log into). _______________________________________________ gnusol-users mailing list gnusol-users@lists.sonic.net http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-users
