[OpenIndiana-discuss] Change IP Address for a zone.

Fri Mar 15 08:18:28 UTC 2013

Hello!
Make sure of two points and it will work for shure:
1. Werify that you do not have allowed-address specified in zoneconfig
(seen from global zone)
#zonecfg -z ZONENAME export
and if yes than chane that address to the new one.
2. Inside local zone create/edit
- file /etc/hostname.NETADAPTERNAME to have only one (first) line that says
IPADDRESS netmask 255.255.255.PROPERMASK (eg. 192.168.2.100 netmask
255.255.255.0)
-file /etc/defaultrouter to have only one line with defaultrouter's IP
address.
3. reboot zone (to be sure) and it will work

Those are old time Solaris instructions that will definitely work always
inside global or local zone but are now maybe depreciated with usage of
ipadmin and friends.

If you want to get to the point of just redoing initial configuration steps
you can just run
#sys-unconfig
and after reboot you will be prompted again to do those steps (like freshly
installed zone but without data loss).

Best Regards
Andrej

BTW: reinstalling the system just to change IP is somehow M$ Windows type
of administration that is depreciated/hated in this circles.  :)
