Operating Systems Solaris Restoring a system from a backup Post 302891070 by jlliagre on Monday 3rd of March 2014 04:05:23 PM

A supported way to clone a Solaris 10 server is to use Flash Archives. You use the flarcreate command to create the source archive. Then a regular Solaris installation will use that archive to rebuild the new system and take automatically care of most underlying details.
