here is the procedure that I followed to restore the File system. Unfortunately the admin system didn't do the backup for /opt so I only restored root, var and usr Smilie

Code:
Step 1: Boot the server on OBP
Start the OS with solaris dvd 
ok>boot cdrom -s


STEP 2: Create structure for root, var and usr
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s4

Mount the root partition to restore it
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a

Step 3: Insert the backup tape to restore the root

# cd /a
# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0
# rm restoresymtable



Step 4: Mount also the partition /usr et /var:

# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 /a/usr
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 /a/var

Step 5: Restore /var and /usr
# cd /a/var
# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0 /var
# rm restoresymtable

 
# cd /a/usr
# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0 /usr
# rm restoresymtable
Inserer le tape de backup de la partition /var
# cd /a/var
# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0
# rm restoresymtable


Verify /etc/vfstab 

STEP 6: Umount all filesystems
# cd /
# umount /a/usr
# umount /a/var
# umount /a

# cd /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs
# installboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

NAME
installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition SYNOPSIS
installboot bootblk raw-disk-device The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition. The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be found using the -i option of uname(1). The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the architecture. users should use installgrub(1M) instead. bootblk The name of the bootblock code. raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is read- able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive. Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use: example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory where ufs boot objects reside. /platform/platform-name/ufsboot second level program to boot from a disk or CD See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ od(1), uname(1), boot(1M), init(1M), kadb(1M), kernel(1M), monitor(1M), reboot(1M), rpc.bootparamd(1M), init.d(4), attributes(5) WARNINGS
The installboot utility fails if the bootblk or openfirmware files do not exist or if the raw disk device is not a character device. 11 Apr 2005 installboot(1M)
