Try

#set_parms initial


hth

change hostname with ipaddress informations with /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

You can set also with,

set_parms initial

hth.

[Bharat Katkar]

# set_parms initial

allows you to configure entire things.


Specifically for Ip add and network configuration use:

# set_parms addl_netwrk

To configure hostname use:

# set_parms hostname


If you configure hostname system will reboot so first configure networks and then hostname.

Are you able to use set_parms utility?

Try if it is not there,

# hostname
# vi /etc/hosts
xx.xx.xx.xx hostname.domainname.com hostname

save this.

# ifconfig ip-address up

Save this settings with /etc/rc.config.d/netconf configuration file and reboot the machine. Is the configuration existing?

hth.

Hi,
What system is it?
I suppose if you dont know much about 9.04 the easiest way would be:
Setting the system name and IP by using Networks/Communication menu in SAM:
Start SAM by typing sam as root on the console, the SAM main menu will show up.
Move the cursor by using arrow keys or pressing key
Go to Networks/Communication ->
For IP select the menu item
Select menu item
Press the sftkey which will bring you to a choices screen with one or more lan card and select lan0 it should then return to View/Modify screen with additional fields.
Fill the fields and once finished press softkey
Then exit sam...

Good luck
Victor

Well 9.04 is quite old, and long out of support, but if I recall the file you need to look at is /etc/netlinkrc

[Victor BERRIDGE]

Thinking of it,
I agree with previous replies, Im quite sure I used at the time set_parms... because I remember now watching after I installed my first HPUX 9 how it booted for the first time and noticed it called a file in /etc: set_parms and looking at the file saw I could use it to reset the time...
So try /etc/set_parms hostname
It should do both (name, IP...)


All the best

Checking back in my training text from way back in 9.04 days, it says the hostname can be set in either or both /etc/src.sh or /etc/rc. The entries look like this:

SYSTEM_NAME=your_host_name
export SYSTEM_NAME


The IP address can, indeed, be set with /etc/set_parms. Verify that it appears in /etc/hosts afterwards.

Come to think of it, you can set the hostname with /etc/set_parms, too!

Change the parameters on the file netconf located at /etc/rc.config.d/.

It is the easy way.

Hope this helps.
