Thank you Karl, Jay, Andres, John and Gary for your answer.
Basically : The procedure works, even on an E450.
Some suggested to better use the "hid2" utility, which only changes hostid
at the kernel level, leaving the NVRAM untouched (Hence you can safely
reboot if something goes wrong).
Finally, Karl suggested using "sys-unconfig", which, starting from Solaris 8
MU7 (02/02), makes it possible to change the hostid.

As I don't want to deal with various software licences loans for each installation, I'd like to temporarily put the target host hostid for each installation. I just wonder if the FAQ method is valid for an E450, as it is not explicitly stated in the FAQ. Of course I will summarise. --- Sebastien DAUBIGNE sdaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com <mailto:sdaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com> - (+33)5.57.26.56.36 SchlumbergerSema - SGS/DWH/Pessac _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers
