Hi all,
I am running OpenSolaris "SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_135 64-bit"
on a Sparc Machine.
After updating with some non-ON software on my machine, I am no longer
able to boot my machine
due to "boot-archive" not being consistent.
I found out that the following SMF services were _not_ enabled by
default, so after the original installation
I did enable them:
# svcadm enable svc:/system/boot-archive-update:default
# svcadm enable svc:/system/boot-config:default
Upon reboot, I get a message telling me to use "boot -F failsafe" on OBP
based machine to fix the inconsistencies.
Such reboot results in the following:
# reboot -- "-F failsafe"
syncing file systems... done
rebooting...
Resetting...

Boot device: /p...@400/p...@0/p...@8/s...@0/d...@0,0:a File and args: -F
failsafe
Can't open failsafe
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I booted single user, and attempted to fix it with:
# bootadm update-archive -R /
#
This does not seem to do anything as I get the OS prompt back
instantaneously.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also tried "svcadm clear system/boot-archive" and that did not help at
all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any insight/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
/Frank
