Running the snv_130 version of EON on a SuperMicro X7SPA-HF motherboard, I kept running into two error messages. The first one showed up during startup and described a failure to configure IPv4 interfaces. For example:
################################################################################ SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_130 64-bit Copyright 1983-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. Configuring devices. Probing live-fs devices Failed to configure IPv4 interface(s): e1000g0 e1000g1 Hostname: coltrane Reading ZFS config: done. Configuring network interface addresses: e1000g0 configured e1000g1 configured ################################################################################ I figure that since the confirmation of configuration came afterwords, it isn't a big deal. Plus, I'm able to connect to the machine so I don't really worry about it. The second issue is that at a seemingly random interval I get a message like: coltrane smbd[727]: dyndns: failed to get domainname That would often appear shortly after a reboot, before I even logged into the machine. Of course, sometimes it wouldn't show up at all. While focused on the second issue, I came across this article (http://www.markwilson.co.uk/blog/2006/01/configuring-solaris-10-dhcp-client-to.htm) that described making updates to the /etc/hostname<interface> files. When I check those files from my install, they had: coltrane instead of: inet coltrane I changed the files to add the 'inet' string, cleared the dhcp cache as described (with "pkill dhcpagent" and "rm /etc/dhcp/<interface>.dhc"), ran updimg.sh and rebooted. When the machine spun back up, the first error had cleared and I got: ################################################################################ SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_130 64-bit Copyright 1983-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. Configuring devices. Probing live-fs devices Hostname: coltrane Reading ZFS config: done. Configuring network interface addresses: e1000g0 configured e1000g1 configured ################################################################################ I also noticed that my router was now showing the hostname (i.e. "coltrane") in it's DHCP client list. Prior to making the change, it only showed "*". So, that's a bonus. The trick is that I'm still getting the 'coltrane smbd[727]: dyndns: failed to get domainname' messages from time to time. So, three questions: 1) What is causing this? 2) Should I be worried about it? 3) Is there a way to make it go away?
