Oracle Configuration of jump start/NFS server for sol10/sol11 OS installation.
Hi folks,

Is it possible to configure Solaris OS install server with NFS method and flar images?
I want to configure a kind of jump start server to install flar images.
Since there is no support for flar images in soalris11, It is possible to configure single server to install OS on both Solaris10 and Solaris11? what can be user as a replacement of flars in sol11?

Thanks.

Yes, you are right. No flar support in Solaris 11.

I understand that work is underway to replace the automated flar mechanism with something to enhance Solaris 11 but meantime it's a rather manual process.

Oracle elude to it here:

Sorry for the biased post, but Storix has a flar replacement that works with Solaris 10 and Solaris 11. According to Oracle, flash archive was only a provisioning tool never intended for system backup so they replaced it with Automated Installer (AI).
