5. Complete the client installation. Refer to your Solaris documentation for
detailed instructions.
6. Reboot the system.
7. Install the software drivers from the CD-ROM that came with the
SunSwift SBus Adapter. Refer to the CD-ROM documentation that came
with your adapter for driver installation instructions
(Part No: 804-5303-10).
3.3 Host File Configuration
After installing the SunSwift SBus Adapter software, you must create a
hostname.hme
<num> file for its Ethernet interface. You must also create both
an IP address and a hostname for its Ethernet interface in the
/etc/hosts
file.
To prepare your system for the SunSwift SBus Adapter:
1. Create a
/etc/hostname.hme
<num> file, where <num> refers to the
number of each SunSwift SBus Adapter channel you plan to use. For
example, use channel
hme0
for the first card; use channel
hme1
for a
second card.
•
Do not create
/etc/hostname.hme
<num> files for SunSwift SBus Adapter
channels you plan to leave unused. The
/etc/hostname.hme
<num> file
must contain the hostname for the appropriate network interface.
•
The hostname should have an IP address and should be entered in the
/etc/hosts
file.
•
The hostname should be different from any other hostname of any other
interface, for example:
/etc/hostname.le0
and
/etc/hostname.hme0
cannot share the same hostname.
•
Following is an example of the
/etc/hostname.hme
<num> files required
for a machine called
zardoz
that will be known as
zardoz-11
and
zardoz-12
on the networks connected to the
hme0
and
hme1
Ethernet
interfaces.
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme0
zardoz-11
zardoz # cat /etc/hostname.hme1
zardoz-12
