B.2.1
Overview Of the Dump and Restore Method
To enable bootability using a temporary boot disk, a boot disk must be directly
connected, at least temporarily, to the host. The boot disk must have the following
installed:
■
The Solaris operating environment.
■
The network adapter driver packages and any needed patches
See the release notes for how to download and install the driver packages and
any needed patches.
Note –
The initial boot disk can be removed if it is not needed after the boot disk is
enabled.
Note –
The examples in this section show disk 0 as the directly-connected boot disk,
and disk 2 as the designated new boot disk that is connected through the host
adapter.
B.2.2
Partitioning the New Boot Disk the Same As the
Temporary Boot Disk
There are several sub procedures required to complete the first phase of enabling
bootability from a temporarily connected boot disk. These sub procedures include:
■
Section B.2.2.1 “To Prepare To Partition the New Disk” on page B-9
■
Section B.2.2.2 “To Record the Partition Layout” on page B-9
