Hi,
I have a Solaris9 Ultra10 that has moved from one IP address system to
another. I have vague memories that you can do a special reboot that will get
the box to present the basic installation windows on the next boot, but I
can't remember what the whole process is. I found a reference to
sys-unconfig, and tried running this command from single user, but found that
it complained about the /var/yp/binding directory, but the command still
proceeded to shutdown the computer. The box had auto-action? set to false, so
I guess that is why it didn't continue with a boot. Anyway the boot command
did come up with the installation windows. Also when the box was backup, it
appeared that all the original configuration files were still in place.
Originally when I tried booting this box after changing hosts, resolv.conf
and defaultrouter, it had stopped at the ypbind stage. However, the latest
boot succeeded, so it would appear that these are all the files that needed
to be changed anyway. However for my own edification it would be good to have
access to the commands required to do a reconfigure.
Dennis
