Booting a SPARC Based System (Task Map)

Task
Description
For Instructions
Boot a SPARC based system to run level 3.
Use this boot method after shutting down the system or performing a system hardware maintenance task.
SPARC: How to Boot a System to Run Level 3 (Multiuser Level)
Boot a SPARC based system to run level S.
Use this boot method to boot the system after performing a system maintenance task such as backing up a file system. At this level, only local file systems are mounted and users cannot log in to the system.
SPARC: How to Boot a System to Run Level S (Single-User Level)
Boot a SPARC based system interactively.
Use this boot method after making temporary changes to a system file or the kernel for testing purposes.
SPARC: How to Boot a System Interactively
Boot a Solaris kernel other than default.
Use this procedure to boot a Solaris kernel other than the default kernel.

Alternately, you can obtain a copy of an alternate boot file, change the default kernel to the new kernel, then set the boot-file parameter to boot the new default boot device.
SPARC: How to Boot a Kernel Other Than the Default Kernel
Display a list of the available ZFS bootable datasets on a SPARC based system.
Use the boot -L command to display a list of the available BEs within a ZFS pool on a system.

Note - This option is only supported for boot devices that contain a ZFS pool.
SPARC: How to List Available Bootable Datasets Within a ZFS Root Pool
Boot a SPARC based system from a ZFS root file system.
Use the boot -Z option to boot a specified ZFS dataset.

Note - This option is only supported for boot devices that contain a ZFS pool.
SPARC: How to Boot From a Specified ZFS Root File System
Boot the failsafe archive on a SPARC based system.
Use this procedure to boot a SPARC based system in failsafe mode. Then, run the bootadm command to update the boot archive.
How to Boot a SPARC Based System in Failsafe Mode
Boot a SPARC based system from the network.
Use this boot method to boot a system from the network. Note that this method is also used for booting a diskless client.
