Thank you! I have never heard of the boot -F failsafe before.
Have read about it now: an Oracle article says it must exist as /platform/`uname -m`/failsafe.
I have access to an older Solaris 10...

Just click the "Edit tags" at the top right of the tags section.When creating a thread, some default - not necessarily spot on or meaningful - tags are added automatically. Edit to taste.

Alas i can't help you with your problem, as i am Solaris-illiterate.



This, though, is easy: simply write ...<yourtext>..... For example:

"while /my/cmd ; do (( passes += 1 )) ; done"
...

Also, we aware that, if you are going to depend on such ufsdumps for recovery, then you should be using fssnap every time before ufsdump.

Search this forum for information on that (if you are...

AFAIR there are two package formats, one is a one-file, and the other is a directory (one can convert to each other with the pkgtrans command).
The one-file package you install with
pkgadd -d...

See if this previous post helps (found after search):

Yes, correct.

Yes, this is a boot block issue.
# man installboot
...
installboot bootblk raw-disk-deviceSo it is actually
# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/cwtxdys0/dev...

Your decision.
Usually I removed them, in order to occupy less space on the file system (and on the backup medium).
Also saved me from "what's this?" questions :D

The restoresymtable is a temporary file for ufsrestore, and can be safely removed.
(Actually ufsrestore only needs it if the dump file is on tape and spans over more than one tape.)
By default...

Aha!
Much different from a Sparc disk label and boot block.

I am surprised that reset is an unknown command. Try reset-all. Or power-cycle the box.
I think "Enter filename" means it has run a boot block okay, but it does not find the "platform" (e.g. for...

You have two processors there. The service processor and the main processor. You cannot boot from cdrom into single user if the main processor is up and running Solaris. Is your terminal connected...

My commands are for the ok> prompt, after an "init 0" from the Solaris OS.
Maybe your prompt is slightly different: {1} ok .
Another useful command is:
ok> printenv

Have you tried to reset it?
ok> setenv aut-boot? false
ok> reset(Or power-cycle)
ok> boot cdrom -sFinally, when everything works, it makes sense to enable auto-boot again
ok> setenv auto-boot?...

Firstly, you are not giving enough information here. As Don said, what hardware is it? What version of Solaris is it? Not all [platforms can run Solaris 11 and Some hardware platforms are...

The command is correct for Solaris Sparc, and a CD with a Solaris boot block should work.
Is the CD okay? Cloned ones can miss the boot block.
Can also be a defective cdrom drive (does it work...

As noted in the message marked in red above... maybe the boot command is expecting you to provide the pathname of a file on the CD-ROM and not just the -s argument to be passed to it???

What...

While {} \; runs a chmod for each file, the {} + collects the filenames and, when long enough, runs a chmod with the collected argument list.
Fewer invocations of chmod => greater speed.

Your post#9 confirmed that my assumption in post#5 is right, and you should try my suggestion in post#3 to alter file ownership.
I forgot to mention that the "chown" requires "root=" permission on...

How are filesystems from the former server which acted like a NAS exported ?
Is the same or similar configuration used during export from new NAS storage ?
Are some firewalls (ipfilter, ipnat)...

Reading MadeInGermany's post#5 I can see that he has a different perception of this problem than Jim and I.

So, questions:

Are both node 1 and node 2 both mounting the filesystem(s) on the NAS...

Clarification:

We have two boxes. Box 1 is parent. Box 1 owns the filesystem. Box1 shares the filesystem via NFS or samba or whatever. Box 1 does not care who connects to the filesystem and...

My understanding is that the two Solaris boxes NFS-mount the same file system from another box, a NAS (Network Attached Storage) box.
Perfectly normal.
But there is no common naming service in...

Whoa!! Hang on a minute. Let's explain some things here.

Any one filesystem can only be mounted by one operating system at a time. Mounting the same filesystem on multiple machines is an...
