Dear Sun Managers,
I am jumpstarting my server (Solaris 10) and then trying to start NFS
server (doing it for experiment right now, but this will be used for a
DR plan, if successful).
It gives following error:
# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
svcadm: Pattern 'network/nfs/server' doesn't match any instances
On my jumpstart server, I checked
/<JUMPSTART_SERVER_INSTALL_DIR>/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/etc/svc/volatile
and nothing is there. At the same time, when I checked the
/etc/svc/volatile directory of a normal production system, it has 117
files/directories.
My question is: Is there any way/ workaround to start NFS Server when a
server is jumpstarted for recovery purpose?
Any help will be appreciated in this regard.
Regards,
Vikas

PS: For information, I found a document from bigadmin which talks about
the complete OS recovery of a Solaris server using netbackup. I am stuck
at step 2 of this document. :-)
Here are the brief steps:
1) Jumpstart/boot the server from network
2) Initiate the NFS server and share the local disk / slices and
mount it to any Netbackup client. Once that is mounted on remote server,
which is also a netbackup client, that filesystem's original data can be
restored.
3) Using step 2, restore all file systems one by one and then
finally use "installboot" command to make the disk bootable.
4) Once done, reboot the server normally and it should come up as
usual.
