Hello,

Our Sun V245 server is running Solaris 10 and 2 internal disks are
hardware raided to form the root disk.

The server failed to boot up after we installed the latest kernel
patch. We tried to rebuild/reinstall
the "bootblk" and "boot_archive" from the Solaris 10 DVD (11/09) but
to no avail.

Could anyone help us in resolving the problem and booting up the
machine please ?
The following are the error messages when booting up.

Thanks,

Bill

We didn't have to restore from backup. We had to reinstall the
"bootblk" and "boot_archive" at the appropriate directory from the
latest Solaris 10 DVD. Thanks come up OK afterwards.

Thanks,

Bill

Next time, use Live Upgrade to clone your BE before patching!

"boot -F failsafe" should do it....one may get this option at the
"give root password for system maintenance".......
some stuff is documented here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/archive-123?a=view

that would be the correct advice, if LU worked as described
