Hi all, Is it possible to create a Solaris restore disk floppy so that I could restore my Solaris box unattended. I can do it manually using boot -s using CDROM but the system that I am using doesn't have a CDROM (Compaq slimeline) and I would prefer to automate the process with a floppy. If a really need to I could find a CDROM somewhere for a few dollars.
I also tried ghost/dos to restore partition but the process would take 3-5 hours from DVD as this would be a sector copy - although there is less then 500M of data in use. Another way I thought of would be a busybox linux, compiled with UFS solaris filesystem into kernel but I don't think that there is a ufsrestore for linux. A last option I was thinking of was partimage which I think Supports UFS but I thought I'd better check if there was an easier way. I was hoping to do something like the following: newfs /c0d0s0 mkdir /tmp/home mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c0d0s1 /tmp/home mkdir /tmp/rt mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 /tmp/rt cd /tmp/rt #check MD5 Hash if good carry on else loop beeps #also encrypt and compress when get round to ufsrestore xf /tmp/home/root001.img #Beep a few times Reboot Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Cheers Karen _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
