Operating Systems Solaris Copied prtvtoc to original disk Post 302968545 by MadeInGermany on Thursday 10th of March 2016 04:43:58 PM

If you have a backup of the old vtoc, then restoring is still possible, and data becomes accessable again.
Perhaps you have another system with the same partitioning?
BTW we have a special system where we run a weekly prtvtoc backup:
Code:
# crontab -l | grep vtoc
50 23 * * 0 (/usr/sbin/prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0;/usr/sbin/df -lk) > /partition_table

NAME
prtvtoc - report information about a disk geometry and partitioning SYNOPSIS
prtvtoc [-fhs] [-t vfstab] [-m mnttab] device DESCRIPTION
The prtvtoc command allows the contents of the label to be viewed. The command can be used only by the super-user. The device name can be the file name of a raw device in the form of /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s2 or can be the file name of a block device in the form of /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s2. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Report on the disk free space, including the starting block address of the free space, number of blocks, and unused parti- tions. -h Omit the headers from the normal output. -m mnttab Use mnttab as the list of mounted filesystems, in place of /etc/mnttab. -s Omit all headers but the column header from the normal output. -t vfstab Use vfstab as the list of filesystem defaults, in place of /etc/vfstab.
