Solaris 11: changing the hostname

1.Check the current environment properties:

root@sun1:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config
config                 application        
config/enable_mapping boolean     true
config/nodename       astring     sun1
config/loopback       astring     sun1

2. Change to new name

root@sun1:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/nodename="sun01"
root@sun1:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/loopback="sun01"

3. Refresh the properties:

root@sun1:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node refresh

4. Restart the service:

root@sun1:~# svcadm restart system/identity:node

5. Verify changes:

root@sun1:~# svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config
config                 application        
config/enable_mapping boolean     true
config/nodename       astring     sun01
config/loopback       astring     sun01

6. Reboot to refresh all cached old host name.
