Restoring the system drive of the SMC

To restore the system drive, you will need:

– The CD-ROM (1 of 2) with the Solaris software for the SMC
!
Proceed as follows to restore the system drive:
1. Log on at the SMC as root.
2. Switch to OBP mode by entering the following command:
SMC# /usr/sbin/shutdown -g0 -y -i0
3. Insert the Solaris CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
4. Insert the data cartridge containing the backed up system drive in the DAT drive. Check
beforehand that the data cartridge is write-protected, i.e. that the write protection slider
is set at "writeable".
5. Start Solaris 8 in single user mode from the CD-ROM:
ok boot cdrom -s
6. When a prompt appears, enter the command format. The system disks available for
selection are offered.
