Dear All, A few minutes ago I said...

So I am now looking at http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRS_5.1_on_Solaris_11_Express as well as the advice given to me yesterday and I am reading the lastest SunRay admin guide (august edition). The wiki page has material about changing between different flavours of IP interface control and wiki says... svcadm disable network/physical:nwam svcadm enable network/physical:default But my fresh Solaris 11 installation already has the second enabled but also has another service... online 17:50:52 svc:/network/physical:upgrade online 17:50:55 svc:/network/physical:default So can I assume that's o.k.? Thw wiki also says... update /etc/hosts to specify a static IP address for your hostname, and eliminate your hostname from the localhost line edit /etc/hostname.INTF to contain your hostname, where "INTF" is your network interface name (see ifconfig -a output) edit /etc/netmasks to contain the appropriate netmask for your subnet create /etc/defaultrouter containing the IP address or hostname of your subnet's router But from what I can see, "ifconfig -a" now only shows interfaces which are active and it seems to me that the "correct" way to handle IP / interfaces is to use the ipadm program and routeadm and so on. I notice we also have routing related services running on our fresh Solaris 11 installation. svcs | grep rout online 17:51:04 svc:/network/routing-setup:default online 17:51:08 svc:/network/routing/route:default online 17:51:15 svc:/network/routing/ndp:default So, should I be editing /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname.INTF, /etc/netmasks and /etc/defaultrouter or should I really be making changes "another way" now on Solaris 11?? I don't (at present) need Sunray windows connector (SWRC) running by the way as we don't use that at present. We only use our SunRays to get to Solaris machines. Anyway, if anyone has either some complete notes, or can offer comments on how much I need to do over and above SunRay admin guide and whether or not I do need to do all or some of the things from the http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRS_5.1_on_Solaris_11_Express wiki page.. Thanks for advice and help so far...
