====== Installation & Configuration ======
==== Serial Console ====
* Use the ''minicom -D /dev/devicename'' command from Linux //(''/dev/ttyUSB0'')//
* Serial configuration: ''9600 8-N-1''
* At the ''->'' prompt, ''start /SYS'' starts ILOM, ''start /HOST/console'' starts pre-boot console
* At the ''{0} ok'' prompt, typically the ''boot'' command should work
* Use ''probe-scsi-all'' to list all disk info
* The ''printenv boot-device'' command shows current boot setting
* May have to use the ''setenv boot-device newbootdevspec'' command to change boot device
==== DNS (client) ====
Prepare a list of domains to search and the IP addresses of the DNS name servers on your network.
Set properties in the SMF repository with the information:
$ svccfg -s network/dns/client
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/search = astring: ("domain1" "domain2")
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = net_address: (address1 address2)
svc:/network/dns/client> select network/dns/client:default
svc:/network/dns/client:default> refresh
svc:/network/dns/client:default> validate
Specify the name service switch to use DNS:
svc:/network/dns/client:default> select name-service/switch
svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/host = astring: "files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> select system/name-service/switch:default
svc:/system/name-service/switch:default> refresh
svc:/system/name-service/switch:default> validate
svc:/system/name-service/switch:default> quit
Start the services that are needed to run the DNS client:
$ svcadm enable dns/client
$ svcadm enable name-service/switch
====== Trivia ======
=== Change hostname ===
svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/nodename="newhostname"
svcadm refresh system/identity:node
svcadm restart system/identity:node
