Re: rootdisk in jumpstart



The other day, i did a restore for a .flar image, the host was a Enterprise
4500 with sol8, i broke the mirror, and restore the image in disk offline of
the mirror, but when i boot, the controllers of the disk was different that
the original so, where i had the c4 controller, now i have the c1
controller, c3 now is c4, if i boot of the original sol8, then i continue
having the original controllers, but if i boot from restore image, the
controllers have changed.
For restore it, i need specific a disk in the profile of the flar image,
because i need restaure in disk offline of the mirror, but if change c4 bye
c1.... Somebody had the same problem?.

Hi all,

I have a server jumpstart, and i'm doing some restores ( .flar images).
How
determined the jumpstart what is the rootdisk?, example:

...
...
filesys rootdisk / 2048

I'm not certain, but I believe the same rules apply to it as do to an
initial installation. For solaris 9, here's what the manual says.

* rootdisk.sn The variable that contains the value for the system's
root disk, which is determined by the JumpStart program as
described in How the System's Root Disk Is Determined. The sn
suffix indicates a specific slice on the disk.

So for the "How the System's Root Disk Is Determined" section, it's a
little too involved to cut&paste. Here's the link. Again, this is the
Solaris 9 04/04 version. Look for whatever version you're using.

I'm not completely certain that this applies to flar restores, but it's
likely that the same code is used.
