HI Gurus,
I have a sunfire V445 server running SAP ECC 6.0 with an Oracle database on Solaris 9 (SunOS 5.9). I recently completed a ufsdump to tape of the following files:-
/,
/usr,
/oracle,
/export,
/sapr3,
I want to restore these files from tape onto a different server of the same type maintaining my current system configuration. how can I do it using ufsrestore??
didn't you miss the /etc directory?
read the manpage fpr ufsrestore... there are nice examples!
oops my bad. I have it on tape. just forgot to list it in the email. can you confirm that I can use ufsrestore to setup a new server with the exact configuration using the following commands:
ufsretsore rvf /dev/rmt/0n /
ufsretsore rvf /dev/rmt/0n /usr
ufsretsore rvf /dev/rmt/0n /etc
ufsretsore rvf /dev/rmt/0n /export
ufsretsore rvf /dev/rmt/0n /oracle
ufsretsore rvf /dev/rmt/0n /sapr3
no i can't verify it... cause i haven't done something like that before! the commands seem to be ok, but you have to test to get proper results!
good luck,
DN2
I used the ufsrestore command to restore all my files from the tape media but I am having trouble booting my server. I get the following error messages:-

how can I repair my solaris system in this case?
bring the server into single user mode and run fsck -Y on the specified targets.
