hello Joaquin, the hostid is machine specific and it is stored in the NVRAM chip that is located on the system board - so moving the disk to machine B will use the hostid of machine B.
from the Frequently Asked Questions about Sun NVRAM/hostid: "Every Sun 3/80, sun4c, sun4u, and sun4m architecture machine contains an NVRAM chip (not to be confused with the NVRAM in Prestoserve). This NVRAM chip stores various configuration parameters (e.g. boot device, amount of RAM to test), maintains the clock, and also contains the IDPROM data, which is composed of the ethernet address, date of manufacture, hostid, a version number, and a checksum." here is the link to the FAQ if you are interested: http://www.squirrel.com/squirrel/sun-nvram-hostid.faq.html hope this helps Stoyan Joaquin Henriquez Alzola wrote: > > Hi people, > > I think I already made my question on the subject of this mail.
