Hello,
I am trying to write some bare metal solaris restore instructions.....
With our old ADSM/TSM 3.x clients we were able to simply follow the
procedure below... BUT with the new TSM 4.1.2 client it seems they have
introduced dependancies that no longer make a "simple" restore possible....
What really concerns me is that I don' t see solaris bare metal restore
procedures coming form anyone (including TIVOLI!)
================================================================
Our old restore instructions (which we are trying to recreate with TSM4.1.2)
are below:
boot cdrom
Complete "system identification" portion of Solaris Install
Select "Exit" from "Install Solaris Software" screen
run format and partition new disk
# create filesystems
newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s1
newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s6
newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s7
# make mount points for all filesystems and mount them
mkdir -p /tmp/a/root /tmp/a/usr /tmp/a/export
mkdir -p /tmp/a/export/home
mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /tmp/a/root
mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6 /tmp/a/usr
mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s7 /tmp/a/export/home
# create a route to ADSM server
route add net 129.6.xx.0 {default_route} 1
# create a directory for dsmclient.cat
# ftp a copy of minimal ADSM client software from ADSM server into /tmp
cd /tmp
mkdir /tmp/en_US
ftp 129.xx.xx.xx - login as anonymous user
cd pub/adsm/sun/sol26
bin
get dsmc
get dsmclientV3.cat en_US/dsmclientV3.cat
quit
# create dsm.sys file
echo servername ADSM > dsm.sys
echo tcpserveraddress 129.6.23.13 >> dsm.sys
echo nodename DIPPER.xxx.xxx >> dsm.sys
# set DSM_DIR environment variable to point to location of dsmc, etc.
DSM_DIR=/tmp
export DSM_DIR
# set execute permission on dsmc
chmod 700 dsmc
# restore all filesystems
./dsmc
restore -subdir=y /* /tmp/a/root/
enter ADSM password
restore -subdir=y /usr/* /tmp/a/usr/
restore -subdir=y /export/home/* /tmp/a/export/home/
quit
# make actual mount points
mkdir /tmp/a/root/usr
mkdir /tmp/a/root/export/home
mkdir /tmp/a/root/dev/fd
mkdir /tmp/a/root/proc
mkdir /tmp/a/root/tmp
# create device special files
cd /tmp/a/root
drvconfig -r devices -p /tmp/a/root/etc/path_to_inst
devlinks -r /tmp/a/root
disks -r /tmp/a/root
tapes -r /tmp/a/root
# install boot block
installboot /tmp/a/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
# unmount filesystems and reboot the system
cd /
umount /tmp/a/root
umount /tmp/a/usr
umount /tmp/a/export/home
halt
halt
boot -[s]r
