Solaris failsafe - what is it ?
Hi all,

Tried googling what is solaris failsafe, but results from oracle only show how to use it, but not what is it

Can any kind soul here shed some light or point me to some documentation ?

Do we need to install failsafe during the OS installation ?
is failsafe located on the same disk as the root filesystem ? if the disk fail, does that means i cannot boot into failsafe ?

or is failsafe located in the root filesystem ? if the rootfilesystem get corrupted, does that means i cannot boot into failsafe ?

DukeNuke2 has provided link to Sysadmin manual Chapter 14 which is good. I recommend that you also read Chapter 13 and in particular with regard to your question, this page:-
