To change the IP address without using sys-unconfig:

1) /etc/inet/hosts (change the IP address form: IP<tab>hostname)

2) /etc/inet/netmasks (add new netmask in the form network<tab>netmask)

3) /etc/defaultrouter (specify the new gateway for this subnet form: Ipaddress)

4) /etc/resolv.conf (edit with new domain and DNS server IPs if applicable)

5) /usr/sbin/reboot
Note that they don't mention /etc/hostname.hme* - probably an assumption on their part that you have it set correctly. Check your entry in /etc/hostname.hme0 against what is in /etc/inet/hosts - make sure the two entries are the same as far as spelling and spacing of hostname. If the server reboots and checks /etc/hostname.hme0, it then looks for that host in /etc/inet/hosts - if it doesn't find it in /etc/inet/hosts, it won't set up the interface.
