Specified host name-suffix (01-) In addition, the host name set in the system becomes the host name set in the NIC connected to the admin LAN. When a NIC connected to the admin LAN is not created during L-Server creation, the host name set for the admin LAN NIC that is used temporarily during L-Server creation is set as the host name of the system.

This product uses the DES system for the cipher system of passwords. The maximum number of characters which can be enciphered by a DES system is eight. When a character string of nine or more characters is specified as an administrator password, the first eight characters are set as the password, and anything after the ninth character is ignored. Refer to the manual or support information of Solaris for details of the DES system.

  1. On the control domain, change the value of auto-boot?, which is an environment variable of OBP, to "false".

     # ldm set-variable auto-boot?=false guest domain's name <RETURN>

  2. Connect to the console of the guest domain and from OBP mode, start the OS in single user mode.

     For the method of starting the OS in single user mode, refer to the manual of Solaris.

  3. Log in to the OS and change the password of the root account.

     For the method of changing the password, refer to the manual of Solaris.
