restore a server with flar

Hi,

thanks for taking the time to review my question. I create a flar on a system with quad NIC card. When I restore the server with the same flar with a jumpstart server, it does not restore all the networking, like /etc/hostname.bge0, /etc/hostname.bge1, ... I have to use finish script to re-create all of those files.

I am using the follwoing command to take a flar

flarcreate -n "flar-name" -c -S -R / -x /opt/Flar /opt/Flar/flarname.flar

any help would be appreciated

Not sure what you expect here but a flar cannot be forced to restore most of the files in /etc such as passwd or shadow or hosts, etc.

A flar has many benefits for quickly building a system (or more likely many similiar systems which is probably what it was designed to do).A flar can be patched which means that a system running something like solaris 8 can be rebuilt in minutes instead of hours with normal jumpstart and post jumpstart patching.

A finish script is your best friend in this circumstance.

You are right, it is meant for cloning the system and not as a backup tool.If you want you can use ufs snapshots and take backup and use jumpstart to restore it.
