2.2.2 Restore of File System Unit

When restoring the file system unit, the Solaris OS is booted from the Solaris 10 CD1 or Solaris 10 DVD.
After booting Solaris OS, mount the disk to be restored temporarily, and then restore the file system unit.
Follow the procedures below to restore each file system. After restoring, reboot the system. If using a new
disk or a disk previously used for other purposes, create a boot block after creating disk slices and a disk
label with the format (1M) command, before starting the restoration process.
If optional software like PRIMEPOWER GDS, which runs as a part of the kernel is installed in the system,
extra care should be taken as the Solaris CD/DVD does not contain these modules. In such a case, consult
the manual of the respective optional software.

Boot the Solaris OS from the CD/DVD in single-user mode.
ok boot cdrom -s <Return>
