what files need to copy when clone servers?
If I need to clone application server-A to server-B (same IP).
What files that I must copy to server-B?

server-A : Solaris8 and run application(bea-weblogic)

server-B : Only Solaris8 install

I think it should be.
- O/S patches
- /etc/system -- for kernel tunning.
- /etc/shadow
- /etc/password -- for user password.
- #for networking
-> /etc/defaultrouter, /etc/hostname.ether#,/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/hosts, /etc/rc2.d/S99staticroute
- all files in /app -- (that application installed)

Do you think anything else ??

Thanks,
Ratcha.

If you use ufs & ufsretore for the procedure you should not need to explicitly specify any files. This would be one typical approache to cloning a system. However it appears that you are not cloning, but duplicating a system, in which case you probably want everything listsed at the bottom of the man page for sys_unconfig that you have not already included.

i recomend using flasharchive option from solaris. the flash image can be installed during boot from cd or dvd media from solaris.
read the man page for "flarcreate".
