Overview Of the Dump and Restore Method
To enable bootability using a temporary boot disk, a boot disk must be directly
connected, at least temporarily, to the host. The boot disk must have the following
installed:
The Solaris operating environment.
■
The network adapter driver packages and any needed patches
■
See the release notes for how to download and install the driver packages and
any needed patches.
Note – The initial boot disk can be removed if it is not needed after the boot disk is
enabled.
Note – The examples in this section show disk 0 as the directly-connected boot disk,
and disk 2 as the designated new boot disk that is connected through the host
adapter.
