I've not heard of a "flar" image, but I think you are talking about what I remember as jumpstart, comparable to NIM on AIX and I'm sure invented everywhere else too (is it ignite on HP-UX?). That's more of an install server and in setting that up, you would include all the software to run on any (supported) hardware architecture.
I'm not that fits the bill here, but it may be possible to install from CD then ufsrestore over the top to replace all the configuration files. No guarentees, but it might work.
Be careful if you have the network card plugged in as you may end up with an IP conflict with the original server causing all sorts of trouble.
Much testing required.
I hope that this helps

Trying to clone an old V240 (sun4u) onto a new T2000 (sun4v).
Managed to create a flar on the V240. Worked out that you need to add the sun4v architecture to the flar (-U "content_architecture=sun4u,sun4v" in the flarcreate).
Anyway, copied that to spare 2nd disk on my target T2000. Booted... (2 Replies)
