Task

Description

For Instructions

Boot a SPARC based system to run level 3.

Use this boot method after shutting down the system or performing a system hardware maintenance task.

SPARC: How to Boot a System to Run Level 3 (Multiuser Level)

Boot a SPARC based system to run level S.

Use this boot method to boot the system after performing a system maintenance task such as backing up a file system. At this level, only local file systems are mounted and users cannot log in to the system.

SPARC: How to Boot a System to Run Level S (Single-User Level)

Boot a SPARC based system interactively.

Use this boot method after making temporary changes to a system file or the kernel for testing purposes.

SPARC: How to Boot a System Interactively

Boot a Solaris kernel other than default.

Use this procedure to boot a Solaris kernel other than the default kernel.

Alternately, you can obtain a copy of an alternate boot file, change the default kernel to the new kernel, then set the boot-file parameter to boot the new default boot device.

Display a list of the available ZFS bootable datasets on a SPARC based system.

Use the boot -L command to display a list of the available BEs within a ZFS pool on a system.

Note - This option is only supported for boot devices that contain a ZFS pool.

SPARC: How to List Available Bootable Datasets Within a ZFS Root Pool

Boot a SPARC based system from a ZFS root file system.

Use the boot -Z option to boot a specified ZFS dataset.

Note - This option is only supported for boot devices that contain a ZFS pool.

SPARC: How to Boot From a ZFS Root File System

Boot the failsafe archive on a SPARC based system.

Use this procedure to boot the failsafe archive on a SPARC based system. Then, run the bootadm command to update the boot archive.

How to Boot the Failsafe Archive on a SPARC Based System

Boot a SPARC based system from the network.

Use this boot method to boot a system from the network. Note that this method is also used for booting a diskless client.
