device-name

Hi all

Booting an Ultra 5/10 system with Solairs 9 for recovery purpose. Problem was due to ufs logging entries in /etc/vfstab.

ok boot cdrom -s

Next

"Mount the file system that contains the file with an invalid entry"

# mount /dev/dsk/device-name /a

Can you pl let me know how to find out "device-name".

Thanks

try the command sysdef:

http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/usail/man/solaris/sysdef.1.html

it will show all the hardware devices installed on your system and you can see the devices files of them


hope it helps.

on OK prompt, enter printenv
this should say you which the boot device is
maybe consult 'devalias'
how many disk are attached?
if ONE (i dont know your conf) it's normally
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 (often is that: target 3 )
you also can try 'probe-scsi' to show all devices
pay attention: a probe-scsi on ultras AFTER a STOP-A will hang !!!
shutdown the sys, in OK mode using setenv set 'auto-reboot' to false
power down and on, now is 'probe-scsi' ok
