Hello,

since days I'm trying to restore a failed server.. so I'm having a zfs snapshot backup, booting from media, follow the steps in "How to backup and restore the Solaris 10 ZFS Root Pool (ID 1020257.1)", do each task step by step, and after my first reboot it fails because rpool can't be mounted.

Details:

zpool create -fo altroot=/var/tmp/tank -o cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache -m legacy rpool c0t5d0s0
zfs receive -Fd rpool < sungrid03.snap1
zfs create -V 1g -o volblocksize=128k rpool/dump
zfs create -V 1g -o volblocksize=4k rpool/swap 
installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s0

Howdy, Stranger!
