SUMMARY: Sun V440 ALOM - hostname

Thanks to:

who suggested to upgrade ALOM to version 1.6.x and to make sure that
/etc/nodename has the correct entry in it.

Unfortunately after upgrading to ALOM 1.6.3, OBP 4.16.4 and installing Solaris 10
6/06 I still can not change the displayed name in the ALOM login, ie.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Please login:
Serial line login timeout, returns to console stream.

Enter #. to return to ALOM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I will continue to fight with this and if successful I will post the
fix.

No matter how many times I reboot Solaris8 or reset the ALOM
SC, the hostname that ALOM displays in its banner/login is that of the
previous system.

Does anyone of you have an idea how this can be remedied ?
According to all docs that I read, it suggest that the ALOM hostname is
automatically configured when the system boots :-(
BTW, access to the ALOM is only via the serial connection.

Thanks.
George
