Solaris and Unix unique identifier


I'm planning to create multiple virtual machines from a Solaris template. I need to remove any unique identifiers post-cloning of the VM (Hardware and Software). So far I've found:

hostid

..and this post talks about the UUID of the root filesystem.

Are there any other identifiers for Unix/Solaris that need changing?

Thanks


Solution

  • look at removing /etc/sysidcfg once removed, when the system boots it will prompt for identification information, unless provided via the network, or a populated sysidcfg.

    the sysidcfg manpage from oracle may be of assistance to you? http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-5174/6mbb98ujq/index.html
