Recovering from /etc/rc errors
Why the storage system becomes inaccessible to the administration host
The storage system can become inaccessible to the administration host if you introduce one of the following errors into the /etc/rc file when you edit it:
- You specify an incorrect network address, using the ifconfig command. The storage system is inaccessible because it is not on the network.
- You improperly export storage system directories to the NFS client that is the administration host. The storage system is inaccessible because you cannot mount the system root directory on the NFS client.
