Re: id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty" console console vt100
Recovery of /usr should be fairly straightforward, assuming you have good backups...
Do you have tapes to restore from ?
Cheers,
Rob

Re: id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty" console console vt100
From the SRM prompt (>>>) can you post the output of "show dev" and "show boot*"
If you then boot to single user, "boot -fl s" can you post the output of "ls -lR /etc/fdmns" and "cat /etc/fstab"
Cheers,
Rob

Re: id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty" console console vt100
After deleting the domain files and recreating them following advice in the File Administration Guide, I was able to finally mount /usr, but it's completely empty. This is not a good thing. If I restore the contents of the partition with dd in the reverse direction with the file I had created with dd before this started, would that restore the files in /usr?

Re: id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty" console console vt100
If /usr fails to mount, then I wouldn't expect a dd of it to be any good. You'll have to use your backup. To restore this, you're likely to have to boot up of an OS CD, as (I think) the gunzip utility is usually to be found somewhere under /usr.
So...
1. Boot up off CD, and drop to a Unix shell.
2. Create the relevant symbolic links under /etc/fdmns to be able to mount your existing disks.
3. Use something like "gunzip -c fulluser20oct09.tar.gz | tar tvf - | more" to be view the contents of your backup file.
4. Assuming the /usr file system is in the backup, the restore it with something like "gunzip -c fulluser20oct09.tar.gz | tar xvf - /usr"
Cheers,
Rob

Re: id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty" console console vt100
However, if the issue is restoring /usr, why would you boot from CD? If root is OK, you should be able to boot it to single-user and restore /usr from that point. Booting from CD to restore should only be necessary if you're restoring root.
The sysadmin manual has very good directions on restoring filesystems. The 4.0F manual is at http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V40F_HTML/APS2RFTE/TITLE.HTM -- see section 11.4, especially 11.4.1 and 11.4.5. If root is OK, you can skip the first several steps in 11.4.5.

> necessary if you're restoring root.
If the backup files are gzipped, then (I think) you'll need to have a working /usr in order to get the gunzip command, hence why I said to boot off CD.

Rob

To the original poster: Don't panic when it says "preparing to install". The installation process gives you plenty of warning before it actually starts writing over disks. Let it boot up, then choose "Exit to shell" from the File menu, then follow the rest of the procedure Rob suggested.

Re: id: cons "/usr/sbin/getty" console console vt100
"Attempting to fix link/dev_count for domain usr_domain. Nothing to fix", and advscan rzg shows "usr_domain. Domain Id 3f6f4c86.0008beb0. Created Mon Sep 22 15:24:54 2003. Domain volumes 1. /etc/fdmns links 1. Actual partitions found rz8g", but mount_advfs -F 16384 usr_domain#usr /usr gives the ""Domain usr_domain not activated - inconsistency detected, usr_domain#usr on /usr: device does not contain a valid ADVFS file system" and showfdmn usr_domain shows "unable to get info for domain usr_domain. error=E_DOMAIN_NOT_AXTIVATED", is there any way to manually resolve the inconsistency by altering some bits somewhere to remove the inconsistency? How can I even find our what the inconsistency is? I think the data in the partition is intact and if there's any way to recover it without having to reconstruct the entire file system, it would be a good thing.
