Questions on flar create (flash archive) - burn to several DVDs & make it bootable & ssh across network
Hi,
1)
First, what's the syntax?
"flar create -x "/oracle, /oradata" -c server1.flar server1c.flar
So is server1.flar the compressed output or it's server1c.flar that's the
compressed output?
2)
how can burn it to DVD? I plan to ftp in binary mode to a Windows PC &
then do "Copy Data" to burn it to DVD because after we relocate in a rush
weekend, chances are the network may not be up, so having a local media
(like DVD) to recover the flash archive is a safer bet. Most of our Sun
servers do not come with a tape drive
3)
is there anyway to span the flar/flash archive output across several DVDs
(& for those servers with 4mm tape drives, span it across a few tapes)
3)
Next, how to I restore them from DVD/tape - boot directly from the DVD/tape
that contains the flash archive or I need to do "ok boot cdrom" too boot up
from a Solaris CDROM first? If booting up from Solaris CD, what's the steps/
command to restore from the flash archive tape/DVD
Thanks

flar (Flash archive) DVD bootable besides holding the archive file but the book says
it's beyond the scope of the book.
Do you know how to make the flash archive DVD bootable? I have Nero burning software
but only know how to do it for Windows
