How to Import Solaris Flash Archives to the Change Manager Repository (Web Browser)

Import a Solaris Flash archive from another system on the network, perhaps the master system on which it was created. This archive is a software stack that can be deployed to managed hosts.

The time required to import a file to the Change Manager repository depends on the size of the file and the speed of the network.

  1. If you are not already in the appropriate folder, see How to Access the Files Section and Appropriate Folder (Web Browser).

  2. From the File Actions menu, choose Import Archive.

  3. Supply the following information:

    • Archive name. Choose a meaningful name. For example, choose a name that describes the software contents or purpose of the archive, such as apache_webserver. Add the .flar suffix to complete the archive name, apache_webserver.flar.

    • Path to the archive outside the Change Manager repository. Click Browse to find the archive.

    • Path to the Solaris boot image in the Change Manager repository that supports the same Solaris version and architecture.

  4. When the information is complete, click Import to import the audit rules file.
