• Solaris 11 network config

    Hi guys !

    In general, Solaris 11 is a cool evolution to Solaris 10. But I'm not a
    fan of the configs buried in some weird places instead of plain files.

    After installing a zone (and before booting it for the first time), I
    can modify network settings in the initial profile /etc/svc/profile/incoming/config. Those are applied during zone init and
    the profile is apparently moved to /etc/svc/profile/sysconfig. When I
    edit the latter file later, the changes are ignored on the next reboot.
    Where is the actual config saved and how can I edit it to become active
    with the next boot?

    I liked the /etc/hostname.* (etc.) approach better ;) ...

    Any hints?

    Frank
