Need help with using Solaris FLAR across disparate platforms
All,
I need help with what needs to be done to use solaris Flash for disaster recovery between the disparate Server platforms listed below.
I am concerned about the platform specific files that would be missing?
Note: All our servers are installed with the SUNWCprog cluster through Custom jumpstart and We use disksuite for mirroring the operating system drives.

Your best bet would be to create a FLAR on a system installed with Entire Distribution + OEM to ensure all the necessary platform specific files are there. Once deployed to a different server , or via a Jumpstart script, you could patch it & then JASS it to remove unwanted packages. The FLAR would have to be able support the Solaris minimum for the newest platform as well like Solaris 8 2/04 or Solaris 9 4/04.

jds2n,
Is it possible to get around installing the Entire Distribution + OEM and include only the platform specific files?
Just a thought
Example:
I would like to create a Flash Archive of a E2900 server which i plan to use to recover a 6900.
The 2900 was installed with a developer cluster.
When creating the Flash archive of the 2900 is it possible to add the 6900 platform specific files and drivers
from the Solaris CD?
Thanks
