I do not have the root password for a Netra T1, and I was attempting to set it. I booted off a solaris 5.7 CD, but I cannot mount the drive. I think it is because it is set up with a RAID configuration. This is what I get.
# mount -m /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt
mount: the state of /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 is not okay
and it was attempted to be mounted read/write
mount: Please run fsck and try again
#

Can anyone help me with this? fsck does not help...

Thanks,
Sam Ortiz
 
Even if the disk is a meta-device,it allows you to mount the root partition manually.You can follow these steps:
i)boot cdrom -s (boot in single user mode)
ii)fsck -y
iii)mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
iv)cd /a
v)vi /etc/system (Hash out the line beginning with rootdev i.e for getting out of raid configuration settings)
vi) vi /etc/vfstab (Hash out the line for mounting / as a raid device .Instead mount as followed:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs)
For successful startup,you would also need to change vfstab entry for /var,/usr and /tmp filesystems similarly.

If you have any problem in carrying out these steps,then reply to this post.
