Hi,
First I installed the HP Box in UFS, created an archive and tested the flash install.
Then I reinstalled it in zfs and created a second archive..
I have two .profile files, one for each file sytem type. I just need to change the rules file according to the type of install I wish, and run the check script.
The reason why I do this is becouse we have a major hardware upgrade. The application we run requires Solaris 10. I opted for the last possible build (10 1/13).
The new servers (4 Netra SparcsT4-1 and 7 Netra X3-1) will be installed using zfs mirror (manually). The 42 HP's and 8 Ultra 27's, both X86 machines, will be flash installed.
If I do not get zfs flash install up and running we will stick to UFS. Although I would prefer to have all systems in zfs.
We still have some old Sparc U25 boxes which need to be flash installable to.
For this reason I need to set up the server (setup_install_server) with the -b option (bootserver only).
At this moment the install server is running in UFS. My colleague and me ar in the process of doing just so on two extra disks.
Now you are completely up to speed.

Erik

sharefs(7FS)							   File Systems 						      sharefs(7FS)

NAME

       sharefs - Kernel sharetab filesystem

DESCRIPTION

       The sharefs filesystem describes the state of all shares currently loaded by the kernel. It is mounted during boot time as a read-only file
       at /etc/dfs/sharetab.

       Filesystem contents are dynamic and  reflect  the current set of shares in the system. File contents are described in sharetab(4).

       File contents can be modified as a result of share(1M), sharectl(1M), sharemgr(1M) and changing properties of a zfs(1M) data set.

       The module may not be unloaded dynamically by the kernel.

FILES

       /etc/dfs/sharetab    System record of shared file systems.
