Anyone clued up on RAID systems here?
and changing IP, hostname on Solaris (SPARC) boxes???
basically..... is
sys-unconfig
OR
editing the following files:
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname.hme0
changes in the three files that are in /etc/net directory
IP address can just be changed by editing /etc/hosts
yes???

Do you mean RADIUS? Or RAID as is multiple hard drive config, mirroring etc?

I'd say RAID5 TBH, not an awful lot of point in just setting up 0?
IP changes on Solaris - from my limited experience, I'd say change the /etc/inet/hosts file, and make sure the appropriate /etc/defaultrouter and /etc/netmasks file are right.

They want you to setup raid0 across 4 disks? Why? theres no redundancy there?
You want raid 5 or 2 mirrored raid arrays? but theres not much point in that either.
Don't know anything about solaris....

yip.... RAID 1 or 5 seems more logical, 0 is just pointless!!
Think i'll just do a sys-unconfig (init state 1 aye? ) for the IP/hostname
