Task 5: Make System Configurations
Two kinds of system configurations are required after the Solaris operating system and setup disk drives
are installed:
1.
2.
Setting Up IP and Remote User Access Files
After you have installed Solaris and added all hard drives, you need to edit files on the management
server that contain data for IP networking and remote user access. See
Table 2-3
File
/etc/defaultrouter
/etc/default/login
/etc/default/login
/etc/hosts
DNS Configurations
Use these steps to modify DNS configurations:
Ask your IT administrator if DNS should be used. If yes, perform Steps 2 and 3. If no, perform Steps 4
Step 1
and 5.
If DNS should be used, the IT administrator must configure the hostname of your machine on the DNS
Step 2
server.
Step 3
Add the valid DNS server and domain name in /etc/resolv.conf.
OL-18332-04
The Solaris 8 operating system is now at end of sale; therefore, migration to Solaris 10 is required.
The Cisco MNM, Release 2.8(1) does not support Solaris 8.
If you intend to install the Solaris 10 operating system, install the Solaris 10 OEM Distribution
kernel 11/06. Do not install the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Solaris 10 Jumpstart or the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch OS recommended patches.
If Cisco MNM coexists with LMS 3.1 Common Services (CiscoView) on a Solaris 10 operating
system, the version of the Solaris operating system must be the November 2006 release or higher,
and the minimum recommended cluster patch levels are those released April 17, 2007.

Modification
Add the host name and IP address of the default gateway router that provides
network access between remote users, network devices, and the standalone
system or the management server.
Add a # symbol at the front of the line that reads, "CONSOLE = /dev/console"
to comment out the line. If you do not comment out this line, users cannot log in
to the machine remotely.
Add the login accounts for all users accessing the server by Telnet.
Add the presentation server's host information.
