Change
The hostname of the server or the server name passed to
ndsconfig with the -S parameter is not resolvable via dns or
/etc/hosts
Resolution
If it is a default instance of eDirectory :
Make sure that the name returned by the hostname command on
Solaris can be resolved to an valid ip address on the server where
the installation is taking place.
A test for this could be :
# ping -a `hostname`
cpl-eDirSol1 (192.168.76.11) is alive
cpl-eDirSol1 (192.168.76.11) is alive
Then make sure that this address does belong to the local
machine, use ifconfig -a to determine that.
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849 mtu
8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
eri0: flags=1000843 mtu

For subsequent instances the -S parameter is passed via the
command line and this name must then be resolvable.
