Rebuild Path To Inst - Solaris

Rebuild path_to_inst Description: Top This document describes how to rebuild "/etc/path_to_inst" and device trees on Solaris[TM] Sparc. Document Body: Top In the case where the /etc/path_to_inst file is corrupted to the point where booting from the disk is impossible, the following procedure can be used to rebuild the path_to_inst file, /dev/dsk, /dev/rdsk, and /devices directories. ok boot cdrom -sw

** Use Solaris media e.g. Solaris 10 03/05 DVD

# mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /a

** Assumes your boot disk is c0t3d0s0

# rm /a/dev/dsk/c* /a/dev/rdsk/c* # devfsadm -r /a -p /a/etc/path_to_inst # umount /a # halt ok boot -r This will build the path_to_inst file for disk drives. disks may need to be reinstalled.

However, third party

If your system is Solaris[TM] 2.6 or older, you need to replace the devfsadm command with the following before reconfiguration boot. # # # # #

drvconfig -r /a/devices -p /a/etc/path_to_inst devlinks -r /a disks -r /a tapes -r /a ports -r /a
