hostid command shows wrong HOSTID but in NVRAM hostid is the Right one.

Hello,

I have a SFV890 whith Solaris 8 and Ultra SPARC IV.

We are installing some databases and applications for comunications and monitoring. I don磘 know how, but now when I try to get de hostid from the machine with "hostid" command, it shows a wrong hostid.

But when the machine startup or from OBP banner command it shows the right hostid from the server, that means hostid in NVRAM is Ok and the right one.

Some licenses we are using ara linked to the hostid number but doesn磘 work because, the hostid from hostid command it is not the right one for this machine.

Someone knows about this behaivor or how to fix this?

I appreciate your help, pls let me know.

Sebastian

Boot the machine from other media (network, CD/DVD) to single user and run hostid. That should give you a clue as to whether the change is in hardware/firmware, or if it's just something in the running system.-- Darren
