I have a 4.0F system with the boot disk mirrored using advfs & LSM
encapsulation. I'm trying to put together a disaster recovery plan for this
system and I've hit a stumbling block. I have to be able to restore the
entire system to a different server with identical hardware. I've gotten to
the point where I've been able to restore the root partition by booting off
the install CD. Here's what I've done so far:
Boot from 4.0F install CD & go into shell
# disklabel -Rr -t advfs rz0 BACKUP_COPY_OF_LABEL RZ2DD-LS
(restore disk label)
# mkfdmn /dev/rz0a root_domain
# mkfset root_domain root
# mount -t advfs root_domain#root /mnt
# vrestore -vxf root.dmp -D /mnt
And now I'm stuck. I boot into single user mode from the freshly restored
root partition to restore the rest of the filesystems. I can't mount the
other filesystems in rootdg since they're in LSM and LSM isn't running. I
can't unencapsulate them since the only procedure I've found to do so
requires the system to be in multi-user mode.
Can anyone help? I need to a) restore dumps w/o unencapsulating the root
disk, or b) unencapsulate the root disk in single user mode.
Thanks in advance.
