    Chapter 2 Backup and Restore of System Disk (PRIMEPOWER1/200/250/400/450/600/65 0/850) This chapter explains the procedures to backup/restore the disk (hereafter called, the system disk) containing the Solaris OS software. Types of Backup Procedures Backup of the system disk requires that the disk and slices to be backed up not be in use. The system disk contains file systems (such as the root (/) file system) that cannot be unmounted.
  • Page 16: Backup And Restore Of File System Unit

    If you are restoring, use the dd(1M) command after booting from the Solaris OS CD/DVD to restore the slice unit. If you back up slice 0, it will only be possible to restore to a disk having the same physical properties (disk space, number of cylinders) as the original.

Example: Backup to the "/dev/rmt/0." # ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 / <Return> 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.

    /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0. Backup and Restore of Disk Unit When backing up a disk unit, use the dd(1M) command. The following describes how to back up a disk unit to a tape device using the dd(1M) command. The backup records physical properties such as disk space and a number of cylinders, so it is only possible to restore to a disk having the same physical properties.

If you back up slice 0, it will only be possible to restore to a disk having the same physical properties (such as disk space and a number of cylinders) as the original. Disk partition information such as the size of each slice will not be backed up. You must record the information separately.

    PRIMEPOWER250/450 This chapter describes how to use the secondary LAN (10/100/1000Mbps) port on PRIMEPOWER250/450. Outline The secondary LAN port on PRIMEPOWER250/450 is controlled by FUJITSU PCI Gigabit Ethernet Driver (Interface name is “fjgi”) included in Solaris 10. Notes When using 1000 Mbps communication, be sure to set Autonegation to 'on'.
  • Page 22: Defining Hostname

    Example /etc/hostname6.fjgi*: Define the unique hostname (This sample named giga-v6): addif giga-v6/120 up Note: If you defined the hostname in hostname.fjgi* file, see the section "4.3.1.2 Defining Hostname" for detailed information. To use the GigabitEthernet as an VLAN interface: See "4.3.2.6 Configuring VLAN interface", and after defining VLAN name, proceed with above 1 or 2 procedure.
