SPARC: Example—Restoring a Non-Encapsulated root (`/`) File System (VERITAS Volume Manager)

The following example shows a non-encapsulated root (/) file system restored to the node phys-schost-1 from the tape device /dev/rmt/0.

[Replace the failed disk and boot the node:]

Boot the node from the Solaris CD. At the OpenBoot PROM ok prompt, type the following command:

ok boot cdrom -s
...
[Use format and newfs to create partitions and file systems]
[Mount the root file system on a temporary mount point:]
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
[Restore the root file system:]
# cd /a
# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0
# rm restoresymtable
# cd /
# umount /a
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
[Install a new boot block:]
# /usr/sbin/installboot /usr/platform/`uname \
-i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
[Reboot in single-user mode:]
# reboot -- "-s"
[Update the disk ID:]
# scdidadm -R /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
[Press Control-d to resume in multiuser mode]
