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 <num> file and the hme channel entries in the
/etc/hosts file, only if you select hme <num> 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 <num> 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 <num> 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.
