If a system does not support the Fast Reboot feature, the automatic update of the boot archive might fail. Consequently, the system might be unable to reboot from the same boot environment.
In this case, a warning similar to the following is displayed, and the system goes into maintenance mode:
WARNING: Reboot required. The system has updated the cache of files (boot archive) that is used during the early boot sequence. To avoid booting and running the system with the previously out-of-sync version of these files, reboot the system from the same device that was previously booted.
The following steps describe how to recover from this failure.
Before You Begin
Ensure that your role has the appropriate rights profiles to perform this procedure. See Using Rights Profiles to Administer Boot Features.
$ reboot
$ svccfg -s svc:/system/boot-config:default setprop config/auto-reboot-safe = true
$ svccfg -s svc:/system/boot-config:default listprop |grep config/auto-reboot-safe config/auto-reboot-safe boolean true
