I'm a little stumped here. If anyone has seen this, please point me in the right direction
Little background first:
I maintain a Solaris corporate build, currently based on Solaris 10u4 (08/07). This build is deployed using flars through jumpstart, wanboot, and jumpstart DVD. In the lab, I have a jumpstart server (built with Sol10 5/08) and a client set up for the only purpose of maintaining that build. Basically, when the build needs to be updated, I :
- build the client with the current flar,
- make all the changes to the client I need to make,
- create new flar with the exact same command every time,
- move the flar to the jumpstart flars directory,
- edit the flar name in the profile/class file,
- test the new flar by re-jumping the client with the new flar.
This year alone, I've done this 6-7 times. No issues. Until today. I needed to update the build with a new SNMP client, so I went through my usual procedure... but, when I went to test the flar, when it came time for the jumpstart to open the flar, it game me this message:
I have no idea why the jumpstart is looking for that /tmp/flarAAAdZaGeb, nor what flarAAAdZaGeb is. If anyone knows what this is, please let me know.
More info:
- When I jumpstart the client with the older flars, no issue.
- I went ahead and rebuilt the client with the last flar that worked, and without making any changes, made a flar out of that build, and still got the Could not open file, this time /tmp/flarAAAVjaGeb.

Hi,
can someone help with the following?
I got 1x146GB disk which is span by just one zfs rpool.
When issue for example:
as you can see in above output the flar is very small, just around 10KB
rpool with all data sets has several GB so this can't be good image. This is on the Solaris 10... (3 Replies)

I have managed this but am having problems extracting the subsequent flar archives.

Hello,
does anyone have a script that can check the contents of the /tmp directory and for example e-mail the directory content if anything other than session files are present?
Maybe there are better ways to monitor suspicous /tmp and /var/tmp activity, if so I'm listening :) (1 Reply)
