Hi,
I'm trying to put together a procedure for doing bare metal restores to x86
boxes running Solaris 10. I have a theoretical procedure below, but have not
really tested it yet. Does anyone have any experience doing this or anything
similar?
Bare metal restores to x86: -
1. Boot box from cd with boot -s
2. Bring up interface.
3. Mount remote NFS partition with amrecover binary and necessary libs.
4. Create partitions on disk.
5. Run amrecover to apply ufsdumps to each partition in turn.
6. Setup MBR (not too sure how to do this yet).
7. Reboot into new (restored environment).
Well, that's as far as I've got at the moment. I'm planning to test it out
over the next few days. Any advice/pointers greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Alan Griffiths
