Storix System Backup Administrator 58 Version 8.2 Solaris System Recovery Guide
Should any system, even when changing the disk configuration, not startup at the end of the installation process
the same as the original system, you should report the problem to Storix immediately. With the vast number of
Solaris versions and releases, and platform support, it’s virtually impossible for Storix to test every scenario, but
will ensure that your system gets up and running!
Network Re-configuration (avoiding conflicts)
If the system is reinstalled from a remote install server, then you entered the client IP address when either
booting the system, or when selecting to restore from a remote server. In either case, the client IP address
entered will be used to reconfigure the network adapter information restored from the backup. In addition, any
additional network adapter configurations restored from the backup will be disabled on reboot.
This is important when a single backup is used to reinstall multiple clients, as each client will then reboot with its
own customized network configuration, regardless of that on the backup. Network adapters not used during the
installation are disabled on reboot to prevent any duplicate IP addresses (i.e. this system and that of the original
client the backup was taken from).
If, however, you installed the system from local boot media (CDROM or hard disk), the new network
configuration, if different, is not known. It is assumed that the backup being restored came from the same
system, and the network configuration is unchanged. Therefore, when the system reboots at the end of the
install, it the network will configure with the original settings restored from the backup. If the backup contains IP
addresses used by another system on the network, you should unplug the system from the network to prevent
IP address conflicts until you have changed the network settings on the newly restored system.
