You'll have to create the root pool by hand when doing a system
restore, but it's not really any different than having to partition
the disk under the old ufs-way.
So, use "zfs send" to write the zfs filesystems to DAT.
To recover:
(1) boot from S10 DVD
(2) exit installer
(3) create root zfs pool
(4) create root zfs filesystem, swap, and dump zvols, and any other
normal zfs filesystem in the root zpool.
(5) restore each filesystem using "zfs receive" from the DAT.
(6) use "installboot" (for SPARC), remembering to use the -F zfs
option, to get the bootblock done
Thanks Erik, the document on
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Troubleshooting_Guide
is really helpful and inline with what you mentioned.
However, I still have 2 problems here :
1. What will be the utility to manage the tape drive? I believe I should
use the "mt" command here
2. What will be the utility to stream the data in and out of the tape?
Can I use "cat" ?
regards,
Dedhi
