3.Create an appropriate entry in the /etc/hosts file for each active ce 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 Diskless Client System on a GigaSwift Ethernet Network

Note –Setting up a diskless client over GigaSwift Ethernet adapter in VLAN configuration is not supported. For setting up a diskless client, the switch port to which the GigaSwift Ethernet adapter is connected must be in normal LAN mode.

Before you can boot and operate a diskless client system across a gigabit Ethernet network, you must first install the GigaSwift Ethernet software packages into the root directory of the diskless client. You can find the GigaSwift Ethernet software packages on the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 CD. 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 8 operating environment does not support diskless clients. Solaris 8 Update 1/01 does support diskless clients. Refer to the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide and the System Administration Guide for more information about installing and administering diskless client systems.
