Hi,
There's no such thing as mksysb for Solaris... the best procedure is to boot from CD and then restore using the tape...
The /home directory on Solaris is used for mounting NFS home directories from remote servers... use /export/home instead.

The command I'm using for the tape backup is
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0n /var/dbbackup/${FILE}.gz
I thought the n meant no rewind so the next file is copied to tape... (4 Replies)

Hi,
Is it possible to use mkdvd to create a bootable DVD using a mksysb on tape as the source image?
On the system concerned, we don't have enough free space to create the mksysb to file first, so would like to use the existing tape mksysb backup.
The DVD disk/s will then be used to boot a... (4 Replies)

unshare_nfs
unshare_nfs(1M) System Administration Commands unshare_nfs(1M)
NAME
unshare_nfs - make local NFS file systems unavailable for mounting by remote systems
SYNOPSIS
unshare [-F nfs] pathname
DESCRIPTION
The unshare command makes local file systems unavailable for mounting by remote systems. The shared file system must correspond to a line
with NFS as the FSType in the file /etc/dfs/sharetab.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-F This option may be omitted if NFS is the first file system type listed in the file /etc/dfs/fstypes.
FILES
/etc/dfs/fstypes
/etc/dfs/sharetab
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWnfssu |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
nfsd(1M), share(1M), attributes(5)
NOTES
If the file system being unshared is a symbolic link to a valid pathname, the canonical path (the path which the symbolic link follows)
will be unshared.
For example, if /export/foo is a symbolic link to /export/bar (/export/foo -> /export/bar), the following unshare command will result in
/export/bar as the unshared pathname (and not /export/foo):
example# unshare -F nfs /export/foo
For file systems that are accessed by NFS Version 4 clients, once the unshare is complete, all NFS Version 4 state (open files and file
locks) are released and unrecoverable by the clients. If the intent is to share the file system after some administrative action, the NFS
daemon (nfsd) should first be stopped and then the file system unshared. After the administrative action is complete, the file system would
then be shared and the NFS daemon restarted. See nfsd(1M)
