2.4 Installing the Solaris 2.5 Software
You will be installing software from the Solaris 2.5 CD-ROM. Make sure the
Solaris 2.5 CD-ROM is properly placed in the CD-ROM drive before
performing the following tasks.
♦ Install the Solaris 2.5 software.
Installing the software will automatically add the SUNWhmd and SUNWhmdu
packages.
The installation process will also create the necessary
/etc/hostname.hme file and the hme channel entries in the
/etc/hosts file, only if you select hme as the primary interface when
prompted during the installation.
If you are going to use more than one Ethernet interface, you must manually
re-enter your existing Ethernet interface’s device name in the
/etc/hosts file
and create its hostname.xx file. Perform the following tasks after
installing the Solaris 2.5 software.
1. As superuser, edit the /etc/hosts file and add an entry for the existing
Ethernet device, for example, le0 .
2. Create a /etc/hostname.xx file for the Ethernet channel you are
planning to use for the existing Ethernet device.
• hostname is literal. Type hostname .
• num is the instance number of the SBus card installation. Use 0 for the first
SBus card installation, 1 for the second instance, and so on.
3. In this file, add a line containing just the host name for the existing
Ethernet interface. For example, if your host name is zardoz , enter just
this word.
