system will be unable to automatically
mount a file system on the EVFS volume as
part of the system startup procedure and
you must manually mount the file system.
boot_remote Enable the EVFS volume after NFS and other
networking subsystems are started. Use this
flag if the private key or stored passphrase
used to enable the volume is located on a
remote system, such as an NFS directory.
If you specify the boot_remote option, the
system will be unable to automatically
mount a file system on the EVFS volume as

See evfstab(4) for more information.
Example
The following entry in the /etc/evfs/evfstab file configures the autostart feature and
uses the init user's key initkey, which was created with a stored passphrase:
v /dev/vg01/lvol5 /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5 init.initkey boot_local
c. Verify that a stored passphrase exists for the key IDs specified in the /etc/evfs/evfstab
entries. If you did not store the passphrase when you created the key pair, use the evfspkey
passgen command to create a passphrase. See “Creating or Changing a Stored Passphrase
for an Existing Key” (page 88).
