how the server can boot a fallback miniroot image located on the
Active SP if a boot pool is not available.
Note -
You must update the fallback miniroot image that is on the
Active SP when you update the Oracle Solaris OS SRU levels. For instructions on
updating the miniroot image, refer to the Oracle ILOM
Administrator's Guide for Configuration and
Maintenance in the Oracle ILOM documentation. If
you replace an SP, the Active SP automatically updates the
miniroot image on the replacement SP.
