Use the restore command to restore the system to its previous
configuration. This command uses the configuration files in the /tmp folder
.

- (Optional) Suppresses console output (STDOUT).
- -prepare-fmt | fmtdisk

Description
The
restore command restores the target system configuration from the
svc.config.backup.xml file in the /tmp folder.
If neither the -prepare nor the -execute option is
specified, the command performs both phases in sequence, producing only a single event log:
svc.config.restore.log.
The restore operation is also known as
a T4 (Tier 4) Recovery, and can only be used on a system having just been started. The
restore operation can not be used on a system having any nonautomatic objects configured,
such as storage pools or volumes.
The restore operation is performed in two phases:
prepare and execute.
The command pauses for eight minutes if any nodes are added
during this process, informing the user of this at run-time.
