Cannot recover OS hard drive from a set of snapshots
I have installed Solaris 11 Express on my computer and set up a script to make daily snapshots of all filesystems and send them to a backup disc.
Now I'm trying to replace the system disc using a set of captured snapshots. I have found an article on that topic on the internet and have been experimenting with the recomended procedure for a while.
Here is a list of exactly the steps I take (c8d0 is the identifier of the new hard disc):
I boot from the USB Install image downloaded from Oracle
I type
to relabel the new disc to a Solaris2 partition
I import the backup disc:
I create the root pool:
I install the grub and the MBR:
I import the rpool, rpool/ROOT, rpool/ROOT/solaris, rpool/export and rpool/export/home filesystems this way:
I set the boot property for the root partition:
I create the dump and swap fs:
Finally I reboot the system:
But then, when the pc reboots, the boot process stops on this message:
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I just set up a raid Z array in solaris xpress and I notice that the drives feel pretty damn hot. I use speedfan to monitor the temperatures of the hard drives in XP. Is there a similar program for solrais? I assume there would be since the drives all have temp sensors in them, but I... (2 Replies)
