SUMMARY:Installing Solaris on different machine
2007-12-25 0:31:00
thanks for all the good tips to install Solaris on a machine and then get the
system to a different machine just by exchanging the disks.
The common suggestion to "boot -r" doesn't work, because the entries in
/devices and path_to_inst are wrong and therefore drvconfig can't be loaded.
The solution is documented in Sun's infodoc 15010 and rebuilds the devices
after a cdrom boot.
Device tree rebuild:
Ok boot cdrom -s
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a cd /a/dev/dsk
rm c*
cd /a/dev/rdsk
rm c*
cd /
drvconfig -r /a/devices -p /a/etc/path_to_inst
devlinks -r /a
disks -r /a
tapes -r /a
ports -r /a
audlinks -r /a
I had to adjust /etc/vfstab, too.
Thanks to Charlotte R., Joon H., Bill V. and all the others.
