You're not wrong. On SPARC I use adb to modify the hostid. On both x86 and SPARC I insert lines at the end of /etc/rc2.d/S20sysetup so that they execute every time the machine boots.
Following below is a copy of the S20sysetup file from my SPARC system.
Again, I've not tested this code on Solaris 11 but it works great on Solaris 10.
All this stuff makes a good knowledge base for future readers and also means that you can help out on any hostid and lmgrd questions too. There doesn't seem to be too much knowledge about on this.

Hi, hoping someone can help, its been a while since I used Solaris.
After creating a NGZ (non global zone), the NGZ can access the GZ (Global Zone) and the GZ can access the NGZ (using ssh, zlogin)
However, the NGZ cannot access any other netwqork devices, it can't even see the default router

hostid
hostid(1) General Commands Manual hostid(1)NAME
hostid - Sets or displays the identifier of the local host
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/hostid [hostname | hexadecimal_number | internet_address]
DESCRIPTION
The hostid command displays the 32-bit identifier of the host as a hexadecimal number in host standard byte order. The identifier must be
unique across all hosts and is commonly set to the Internet address of the specified host. The superuser can set the host ID by specifying
a hostname, internet_address, or hexadecimal_number argument. The identifier is stored in network standard byte order.
EXAMPLES
To display the identifier of the local host, enter: $ hostid
0xc009c803
The hostid command displays the identifier of the host as a hexadecimal number in host standard byte order. To set the identifier
of the local host to the local Internet address, enter: $ hostid 555.5.55.555
The hostid command converts the Internet address to its hexadecimal equivalent, and then sets the local host to this address.
Note that the sample Internet address in this example, 555.5.55.555, is not a valid Internet address and would cause hostid to
return an error.
