What is the use of Flar command in solaris

Answer Posted / daud

To Create A Solaris Flash Archive FLAR
# flarcreate -n "SOL M4000 sol10_u9 - v0.10" -a "info@vcvcv.com" \ -R / -x /flash /flash/SOL-m4000-sol10_u9-`uname -n`-`date "+%Y%m%d"`.flar
-n parameter, -a identifies its author and the -R parameter specifies its root directory. We exclude the /flash directory using -x. It is important to do this if you are saving the flash archive to a locally-mounted filesystem, otherwise you’ll end up having recursive copies of /flash in your FLAR. NFS-mounted filesystems are excluded by default.

# ls -lh /flash
total 18420384
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 8.8G Oct 27 12:47 SOL-m4000-sol10_u9-solaris-srv-20111027.flar
#
Run the flar command to check the attributes of the flash archive.

# flar info /flash/SOL-m4000-sol10_u9-solaris-srv-20111027.flar
