My Solaris 10 machine isn't booted at the moment but I believe my
recollection is accurate (I'm on an S9 machine). If I am incorrect in
any way I trust others will follow up.
Read the prtvtoc man page (man prtvtoc). Notice that the partition with
tag 5 is the entire disk. Use the corresponding device special file
with the dd command. In my case at the moment it would be
/dev/[r]dsk/c2t6d0s2 - unless you have deliberately done something
nonstandard it will always end 's2' I believe. Also, if you are using
an x86 or x86-64 machine the Solaris fdisk partition may not include the
entire physical drive. Hmmmm, You may be able to and need to use the
partition device special file[s] in that case, I've not studied that issue.
Please be aware that all partitions on the physical disk must be
unmounted in order to safely use 'dd' this way. That is, you can only
safely 'dd' a partition which is not mounted, and for tag 5, all other
partitions are included.
Please be aware that attempting to put this back onto a different type
or size disk could result in disaster.
