Configure resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf

Hi,

I've installed Solaris 11.3(live media) and configured DNS. Everytime I reboot the server, resolv.conf got deleted and it created a new nsswitch.conf.

I used below to configure both settings:
Code:
# svccfg -s dns/client
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = (xx.xx.xx.aa xx.xx.xx.bb)
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/domain = domain.com
svc:/network/dns/client> listprop config
config                      application
config/value_authorization astring     solaris.smf.value.name-service.dns.client
config/nameserver          net_address xx.xx.xx.aa xx.xx.xx.bb
config/domain       astring domain.com
svc:/network/dns/client> exit
# svcadm refresh dns/client
# svcadm restart dns/client

Code:
# svccfg -s name-service/switch
svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/host = "files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/ipnode = astring: "files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> listprop config
config                      application
config/default             astring     files
config/value_authorization astring     solaris.smf.value.name-service.switch
config/printer             astring     "user files"
config/host                astring     "files dns"
config/ipnode              astring     "files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> exit
# svcadm refresh name-service/switch
# svcadm restart name-service/switch

Kindly advice. Thank you

Please disregard. Issue has been fixed by switching from automatic network to manual.

Thank you
