login with username/password   : root/solaris

Mostly the pool name for root file system is (rpool)

# zpool import |grep -i pool:
pool:rpool

# zpool  import -f rpool   (to import root pool)
# mkdir /a
# zfs set mountpoint=/a rpool/ROOT/solaris
# zfs mount rpool/ROOT/solaris

Recover pam.conf

set back mount points to original and export the pool

# umount /a
# zfs set mountpoint=/ rpool/ROOT/solaris
# zpool export rpool
# halt

Go back to ILOM
-> set /HOST/bootmode script="setenv auto-boot? true"
