How to change a host's IP address in solaris?

This will be permanent across reboots.

If your system has Solaris 10 11/06 or an earlier release, change the IP address in /etc/inet/ipnodes:

# vi /etc/inet/ipnodes

Change the IP address in /etc/hosts:

# vi /etc/hosts

Change the IP address in /etc/hostname. i.e. /etc/hostname.bge0:

# vi /etc/hostname.bge0

Make sure you still have the correct values in /etc/defaultrouter and /etc/netmasks (change these values as necessary in your network has changed).

Reboot your system:

# reboot -- -r
