Please provide more information. This looks like a SPARC platform? Please confirm. Have you restored the system onto different hardware than where the backup was created? What form was the backup? cpio, tar, ufsdump or what? What exactly is the hardware platform that you are restoring onto? ufs or zfs filesystems?
So what steps did you take to restore the system? If you are restoring to exactly the same machine that the backup was created on then it should be quite simple. Typically...........
create/check disk layouts/slices
ufsrestore all filesystems
check/rewrite bootblk (if it might be damaged)
vfstab should be okay because it's the same machine
/etc/system file should be okay because it's the same machine
device address nodes (c*t*d*s*) should be okay because it's the same machine
reboot system (possibly with -r switch but should not be needed because it's the same machine)
..........................
Are you sure that the root filesystem restored okay?
(Did you restore this from tape, NFS volume, or what?)
At this stage it looks like the root filesystem did not restore properly. Restore (this one filesystem) again.
Before that it's just worth trying:
to tell Solaris to reconfigure and give verbose output. See if that tells you anything more.
Post the steps that you took to restore the system.
i think this is the point... have you restored all dumps? was the original layout on multiple slices? how was the ufsdump taken? an exact command would be good!
Actually the main probleme is when i restart the server it changes the name of the disk . For exemple i have c0t0d0s0, after reboot i get in the format c1t0d0s0, when i modify the vfstab it doesnt change anything. the probleme persist.Any help on how to rename the disk to march the vfstab file?
The device nodes c*t*d*s* should be okay if it's the same platform. If they are coming up different then something has changed. You should try and find out what.

Hello Guys,
Can before and after snapshots be used to verify successful filesystem restoration?
snapshots will be created using fssnaps and restoration is thru legato restore?
Any ideas on this? or any other ways I could verify that restoration is good?
