How to change IP address on Solaris 11

We have moved from traditional method to new method to change IP address in Solaris11.
Below is the steps for changing IP address on Solaris11.


Check the current Status:

root@clnode1:~# ipadm
NAME              CLASS/TYPE STATE        UNDER      ADDR
lo0               loopback   ok           --         --
   lo0/v4         static     ok           --         127.0.0.1/8
   lo0/v6         static     ok           --         ::1/128
net0              ip         ok           --         --
   net0/v4        static     ok           --         192.168.10.11/24
   net0/v6        addrconf   ok           --         fe80::a00:27ff:fe15:9f0f/10
root@clnode1:~#

Delete existing IP address. Note (When you remove primary IP address you should be in console):

root@clnode1:~# ipadm delete-addr net0/v4
root@node2:~# ipadm
NAME              CLASS/TYPE STATE        UNDER      ADDR
lo0               loopback   ok           --         --
  lo0/v4         static     ok           --         127.0.0.1/8
  lo0/v6         static     ok           --         ::1/128
net0              ip         ok           --         --
  net0/v6        addrconf   ok           --         fe80::a00:27ff:fe15:9f0f/10
root@node2:~#

Assign new IP address and check the status:

root@node2:~#ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.10.12/24 net0/v4
root@node2:~# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849 mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
net0: flags=1000843 mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 192.168.10.12 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255
        ether 8:0:27:15:9f:f
lo0: flags=2002000849 mtu 8252 index 1
        inet6 ::1/128
net0: flags=20002004841 mtu 1500 index 2
        inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe15:9f0f/10
        ether 8:0:27:15:9f:f
root@node2:~# ipadm
NAME              CLASS/TYPE STATE        UNDER      ADDR
lo0               loopback   ok           --         --
   lo0/v4         static     ok           --         127.0.0.1/8
   lo0/v6         static     ok           --         ::1/128
net0              ip         ok           --         --
   net0/v4        static     ok           --         192.168.10.12/24
   net0/v6        addrconf   ok           --         fe80::a00:27ff:fe15:9f0f/10
root@node2:~#

Update /etc/hosts file:

root@node2:~# cat /etc/hosts | grep 192.168.10.12
192.168.10.12 clnode2
root@node2:~#

We have successfully changed IP address. Cool...
