5. Create a

/etc/hostname.hme

<num>

file for the Ethernet channel you are

planning to use for the SunSwift SBus Adapter.

hostname

is literal. Type

hostname

.

num

is the instance number of the SBus card installation. Use

0

for the first

SunSwift SBus Adapter installation,

1

for the second instance, and so on.

6. In this file, add a line containing just the host name that you assigned for

the SunSwift SBus Adapter. For example, if your host name is

zardoz

,

enter just this word.

7. Power off your system, using standard shutdown procedures described in

Solaris 2.5 Handbook for SMCC Peripherals.

8. Install the SunSwift SBus Adapter as described in Chapter 2.
