if you're talking about the /etc/hosts file, thats not enough to change the host name. I believe on Solaris there is a sysunconfig utility located probably in /usr/sbin that will reconfigure the hostname for you (I'm primarily HP). If that location isn't right, just do a find from the command line to locate where its at.
Running that should take you through about the same steps as when you first brought the OS up (asking IP address, etc.) Then it will reboot and the new name should take effect.
Hope this helps ...

ip6_setup
ip6_setup(8) System Manager's Manual ip6_setup(8)
NAME
ip6_setup - IPv6 configuration program
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/ip6_setup
DESCRIPTION
The ip6_setup utility allows you to configure the IPv6 networking software on your system.
To run ip6_setup, enter the following command and then answer the questions: # ip6_setup
You must know your Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address. If your network uses subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your
network. The network manager should be able to provide you with the information that you need.
After the ip6_setup command completes, the network services on the system can be restarted manually with the following command: #
/usr/sbin/rcinet restart
Before you restart the network services with the preceding command, warn the users that the network services on the system are being
removed. File systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount command must be unmounted with the unmount command.
You must remount these file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your system.
Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command: # /usr/sbin/shutdown -r now
FILES
