Operating Systems Solaris Create an ISO image of whole system Post 302304192 by TonyFullerMalv on Sunday 5th of April 2009 03:33:42 PM

Sounds like making a flash archive/image would be simpler (as can be used for JumpStarting a machine) in which case you could run:
Code:
# cd /var/tmp
# flarcreate -n <imagename> -c -e <imagename> <imagename>

You would end up with a flar file fn the machine excluding the contents of /tmp and /var/tmp called <imagename>.

If you then use the flar split command on the flar file you will have a cpio format file of the machines filesystems.

Hope this might be a helpful alternative?

If not here is a useful document on Sun's site about writing CD's and making ISO files:
