How do you change the hostname of a non-global zone in solaris 10?

The same way you change it on a global zone, or on older versions
of Solaris.

There is nothing specific that I'm aware about zones hostnames.

I've altered /etc/hosts and rebooted and the old hostname comes back.
I cannot figure out where it's even grabbing the one one from.

/etc/hosts doesn't change the hostname, whether on a zone or not.

/etc/nodename, /etc/hostname.<interface> are the place where the
hostname is picked.

sys-unconfig can be used to reset a system configuration.

solved:

I had to edit /etc/nodename

So, sun.com is the wrong place to be looking for helpful information.

Well, may be are you a part of the problem.

Going to docs.sun.com and searching "Solaris 10 change hostname" lead
to the system administration manual, then it's quite easy to locate
chapter 12:
"Displaying and Changing System Information"
"Changing System Information"
"How to change a System's host name"

There are no hostname interface files in a zone.[color=blue]

What an ugly way to change a setting.

I am the problem. When I wrote the hostname man page for solaris 10, I
decided not to reference anything about where initial hostnames are set.[color=blue]

That's funny, I get this:

Search results for: solaris 10 zone change hostname
No matches found

The hostname man page references uname(1), which states:

Use sys-unconfig(1M) to change a host's name permanently.

Zone is irrelevant here, there is nothing special with zones
and hostnames.

Certainly better that yours, who forget to change several files.

man sys-unconfig tells what files it changes, so if you prefer
doing it manually, nothing prevents you to do it.

Try the man page for sys-unconfig, it lists all the locations that
you must modify if you want to permanently change a host name.

Again, I just write better docs than sun ever could.

You're right. My query was completely unreasonable. I should have searched
for "solaris" instead, then drilled down 400 books.

Please check usenet archives for my version of adding a new disk to
solaris 10. It replaces about 57 sun documents.

Please surround yours with <dumbass says></dumbass says> next time.

In a zone:
1) edit your /etc/hosts file
2) etc /etc/nodename
3) uname -S newhostname

Then reboot your zone. That should do it.

Thanks. That helped me a lot.
