Note: RAID 1 should not have been enabled in the machine in which flar image is being
created since we need two hard disk
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Execute following to identify the available disk
# format
2) Select the second disk number and indentify the free slice in the corresponding
partition
3) Once the corresponding partion is identified, create newfs as follows
# newfs /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6
c1t1d0s6 differ from hard disks.
4) Then create a data disk to hold the flar image
# mkdir /data
5) Now mount the /data to the newfs. Enter:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6 /data
6) Then create exclude file list, that needs to be excluded from the flar
# echo "/opt" > /tmp/exclude.txt
# echo "/data" >> /tmp/exclude.txt
the above two directories are example
7) Now to start with flar creation process, enter:
# flarcreate -n "Solaris 5.10 Archive" -a "Cisco" -c -I -X /tmp/exclude.txt -R / /data/sol10lca.flar
output should be
