sorry i didn´t put the header in the message.

i use to add this to cron in hp-ux for do the ignite


00 00 1,15 * * /opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -s <IGNITE SERVER> -n 1 -P s -u -x inc_entire=vg00 -x exclude=/var/adm/crash -x exclude=/tmp >> /var/adm/syslog/Ignite_out 2>&1


so i´ve been investigating with would be the equivalent tool for solaris, and i found out that flash is not compatible with metadevices, just ufs.

and jumpstart, seems to be like to setup a server with a solaris image to install servers automatically...

so i´m a bit lost....

thanks for your help.

Why do you say flash is not compatible with metadevices? Atleast I am not aware of it.

Did you look at "flar create" ? or do man flar

With flar create, you just need to give it the mount point name, /, /var etc, it does not care if the underlying devices are metadevices.

this is what "solaris 10 exam prep part II by bill calkins" says:

A few limitations of the Flash Archive are worth noting:

Flash does not support metadevices or non-UFS file systems.

The archive can only be generated using packages that are currently installed and available on the master server.


so ...if you say it works, i would like to be sure...

thanks

Best way would be for you to try it. Creating a test flar is not going to hurt your existing data. But as for myself, I am pretty sure it works on metadevices.

then i´ll trust you!
