The hostname of the server or the server name passed to ndsconfig with the -S parameter is not resolvable via dns or /etc/hosts

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

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 1500 index 2
inet192.148.76.11netmask fffffe00 broadcast 147.2.77.255
ether 0:3:ba:2b:71:8

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