Sun Microsystems 10GBE XFP manual # cat /etc/hosts

■The host name must be different from any other host name of any other interface, for example: /etc/hostname.nxge0 and /etc/hostname.nxge1 cannot share the same host name.

The following example shows the /etc/hostname.nxgenumber file required for a system called zardoz that has a Sun x4 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet driver (zardoz-11).

#cat /etc/hostname.nxge0 zardoz

#cat /etc/hostname.nxge1 zardoz-11

3.Create an appropriate entry in the /etc/hosts file for each active nxge interface. For example:

#cat /etc/hosts

#

#Internet host table

127.0.0.1localhost

129.144.10.57 zardoz loghost

129.144.11.83 zardoz-11

Setting Up a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Network on a Diskless Client System

Before you can boot and operate a diskless client system across a 10-Gigabit Ethernet network, you must first install the 10-Gigabit Ethernet software packages into the root directory of the diskless client. You can find the 10-Gigabit Ethernet software packages at the following web site:

Refer to the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide and the System Administration Guide for more information about installing and administering diskless client systems.

Note – The Solaris x86 version of the operating system do not support diskless clients.
