Anyone come up with anything on this one?
I'm about to go live with a home brewed wing and a prayer backup plan
for bare metal restores.

I have located this. Its author is Robert Hartzell -- are we speaking
about the same thing? The name popped into my head today and once I
searched on it, the README that he wrote popped up immediately. As he
never posted it to the list, I'd like to get his permission first, but I
assume that that will be no problem. Just when someone doesn't post
something to the list, I have to assume they might have a reason.
He started using an 03/05 disc and building a restore disc from that,
but apparently he since tried it with 01/06 and this works fine as well.
He thinks it should work on Solaris 9 as well, and I'd wager it works on
06/06, as there were no changes that should affect the ability to
conduct a restore on this version.
Note, he attempted this on x86. I am very interested in doing it on
SPARC, and in fact may try to get it going this afternoon.

If I'm not mistaken (and now I'm thinking I may have lost this stuff due

Yes, now that you mention it, I recall that someone did get rescue working on
Solaris, but to the best of my knowledge the code was never posted. If
someone has the time to check the archives and prove me wrong, he would be
doing the Solaris users a big favor as I would be very happy to accept such
code ... :-)
I would consider that a HUGE favor. I have time, motivation and
Solaris boxes to help in making this happen. What I don't have yet is
the wisdom.
I have tried the archives, and found many references to the code, but no
actual code. Last week I even dropped a note to the person who said
that they had a working sample, but no reply as of yet.

I am trying to go though the rescue procedures / preparation for
Solaris, SunOS 5.10 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240, as directed

/usr/local/src/bacula-rescue-1.8.6/solaris/getdiskinfo
Error on if statement
Begin collecting system info
./getdiskinfo: test: argument expected
I changed the if syntax to read:
- if [ -e /etc/fstab ]; then
+ if [ -r /etc/fstab ]; then
for all instances of the -e expression and it seemed to work just fine.
It identified that i have a vfstab file and read that.
Error on route command.
"route -n >route.bsi"
error message
usage: route [ -fnqv ] cmd [[ -<qualifers> ] args ]
I am just not sure how to fix this, because I am not sure what the
command is trying to gather.
Currently both the df.bsi and route.bsi files are empty. The other
files seem to have been created just fine.
I presume that the df.bsi file should contain data, but again, not sure
what and there was no error message.
Hmmm. The problem is that no one has yet converted the Linux scripts to
work
on Solaris. There are a lot of important and subtle differences between
Linux and Solaris, eg most "if [ -e xxx ]" should be "if [ -f xxx ]" ...
There are also a lot of major differences in terms of what info needs to
be
saved to reconstruct a system.
I suspect that you might be better off starting with some existing Solaris
script that saves the system, then adding to it the necessary Bacula
stuff.
