Hello Fernando, In Solaris for Sparc there is command sys-unconfig, which will allow you to set all the parameters for the system ( name, IPs, DHCP etc ) I believe there is the same command in Solaris for Intel. Anyway: /etc/hostname.name-of-the-interface contains name of the interface. IP on that interface is read from /etc/hosts - it's IP coresponding to that interface name. The name of the system is located in /etc/nodename.
