2. Ensure that the Sun Enterprise 10000 host name and host-name IP address are
correct in the
/etc/hosts
file.
3. Ensure that the Sun Enterprise 10000 host name and Ethernet address are correct
in the
/etc/ethers
file.
You are done checking the domain network information. If you use NIS at your site,
check with your network administrator about what configuration issues must be
addressed before you continue the installation. NIS issues are out of the scope of this
chapter. You can now set up the SSP as a boot server, as described in the following
section.
