Hello,

I am trying to write some bare metal solaris restore instructions.....

With our old ADSM/TSM 3.x clients we were able to simply boot off the
solaris install cd, and ftp the "dsmc" and en_US directory over (vs having
to install solaris and ADSM fully)... and then launch the dsmc command line,
and "restore"....

BUT with the new TSM 4.1.2 client, when we try and lauch the dsmc command
line with get something like:

"./dsmc: syntax error at line1: '^?ELF^A^B^A^B...........' unexpected


Our old restore instructions (which we are trying to recreate with TSM4.1.2)
are below:


 boot cdrom
 Complete "system identification" portion of Solaris Install
 Select "Exit" from "Install Solaris Software" screen
 run format and partition new disk

 # create filesystems
