Sounds easy enough, but what is the command to boot to failsafe? I've never heard/done that before.
Thanks again
Okay, I did some additional digging and found the/a failsafe boot command (reboot -- -F failsafe). After this boot I ran the restore_repository script and again / was in read only. I ran the scripts as instructed without a panic this time and the restore_repository script still wouldn't run due to / in read only. Here's a short screen shot. Ideas?
# /lib/svc/method/fs-root
# /lib/svc/method/fs-usr
# /lib/svc/bin/restore_repository
See
http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-MY for more information on the use of
this script to restore backup copies of the smf(5) repository.
If there are any problems which need human intervention, this script will
give instructions and then exit back to your shell.
Note that upon full completion of this script, the system will be rebooted
using reboot(1M), which will interrupt any active services.
The / filesystem is mounted read-only.
This must be rectified before /lib/svc/bin/restore_repository can continue.
If / or /usr are on SVM (md(7d)) partitions, first run
/lib/svc/method/svc-metainit
To properly mount / and /usr, run:
/lib/svc/method/fs-root
then
/lib/svc/method/fs-usr
After those have completed successfully, re-run:
/lib/svc/bin/restore_repository
to continue.
