Hi guys & gals,
As a newbie, here's my quest:
Build a bootable tape backup for my sunos 5.8 sunfire 480v ultrasparc-III+
AiX has such feature: mksysb; by the way, why can't I change/write to /home
Any SUN guru out there ?
Any idea will be welcomed

Hi,
There's no such thing as mksysb for Solaris... the best procedure is to boot from CD and then restore using the tape...
The /home directory on Solaris is used for mounting NFS home directories from remote servers... use /export/home instead.

there must be a way to boot from a scsi tape, because it is written about it on docs.sun.com when you are looking to the OBP commandos
i would also say that this make no sense.....
same opinion as andryk, boot from the cdrom and repair the systems in livecdos....
Comment out the /home entry in /etc/auto_master and restart the automounter.
