boot-archive issue
I had logged into Server via ALOM and was placed into runlevel 5 other than 3 which is default.
I did a svcadm delete boot-archive, and was promptly placed in runlevel 3.
Now, I am unable to do a telnet or login into the server through any other service.
Code:
bash-3.00# svcs -a
svcs -a

How do I get to telnet to this server console now... I am still getting to this server via ALOM interface.
I had earlier accidentally deleted the PATH variable while trying to export a customized path through a script. Have not been able to login since then.

Logging session to be enabled
Problem lies with the boot-archive service.
It is failing thereby disabling the depended console-login service.
Attaching the maintenance log of svcs -x command.

Please suggest how to correct the same.

you need to boot off the failsafe archive. bring system down to obp. then use
Code:
boot -F failsafe

and follow instructions.

fyi - from the times i remember doing this, i had to perform this several times before it became stable. no clue why. however, if the system comes up and looks stable, make sure you reboot to confirm. also, you may need to remove any metadevices first before hand.

after booting with failsafe, mount the rootfs to /mnt
then do "bootadm update-archive /mnt"
umount /mnt
then reboot
