Which version of Solaris are you running?

If it's Solaris 10 or 11, you may follow the steps to check and set correct hostname:
Code:
# check the hostname that is set now, if it's correct or not
svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config/nodename

# set the correct hostname
svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/nodename="servername"# refresh the properties for the service
svccfg -s system/identity:node refresh# restart the service
svcadm restart system/identity:node

# recheck if the change has been made

svccfg -s system/identity:node listprop config
