S7-2 solaris 11.3 and S7-2L Solaris 11.4 ( New Servers )
Am confused as to how to boot Solaris 11 in case of DR.
What is the "Fallback Miniroot". None of my new servers will boot off it. (See below )
You can see from the rmmount command below that the device is mounted and I can access it
via the operating system. It does match the version of the operating system.
I was able to attach an external DVD drive with the "text install" DVD and boot off that into the "Shell". So that will be the DR plan for now.
But what is the "Fallback Miniroot" Am I flogging a dead horse trying to boot off it.

How to Update the Fallback Image
This procedure applies to those systems that have service processors (SPs) with the fallback miniroot installed. Whenever you update to an SRU version on the host, you must also update the fallback image.
Note - The fallback image's Readme file also provides the same instructions for updating the fallback image. Make sure to refer to that document for additional information related to the image.
Access your MOS account at https://support.oracle.com
On the support web page, search for Doc ID 2045311.1 (Oracle Solaris 11.3 Support Repository Updates (SRU) Index ).
This index lists the different SRU versions with links to their corresponding fallback boot images.
Download the SRU version's fallback image.
At the ILOM prompt, check the version of the current image to verify that you do not have the latest version installed already.

Hi guys
I have a bunch of x4100's x4140's etc with solaris 10 update4 running on them but I suspect that when a lot of these boxes were originally built, the jumpstart process used an update2 miniroot, now as far as i understand it, the miniroot used at jumpstart is the miniroot that stays on... (1 Reply)
