2. Move the cartridge from slot 1 to the tape drive.
# mtx –f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 load 1 0
3. Ensure you are in the root directory.
# cd /
4. Back up the kernel using tar.
# tar cvf /dev/rmt/2cb ./platform/`arch -k`/kernel/sparcv9/unix
5. Move the cartridge back to slot 1.
# mtx –f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 unload 1 0
Restore the Solaris kernel (iSCSI or Fibre Channel)
1. Move the cartridge from slot 1 to the first tape drive.
# mtx –f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 load 1 0
2. Create a temporary folder to restore the backup into.
# mkdir temp
# cd /temp
3. Restore the kernel to the temporary folder.
# tar xvf /dev/rmt/2cb
4. Move the cartridge back to slot 1.
# mtx –f /dev/scsi/changer/c3t1d0 unload 1 0
