Changing hostname in Solaris

Just edit the following files and substitute each occurrence of the old hostname with the new one.

Changing the following files entry will make hostname changes permanent.

/etc/hosts
/etc/nodename
/etc/hostname.xxn
(xxn = network interface, such as hme0)


You can change the entries in below files too. But they are all optional:
/etc/net/ticlts/hosts
/etc/net/ticots/hosts
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts
/etc/inet/ipnodes
(if this file exists and if a hostname entry exists)

hostname newhostname will change the hostname instantly.
