To Create a Web Start Flash Archive

After you install the master system, create a Web Start Flash archive to use to install other systems.

1. Boot the master system and run it in as inactive a state as possible.

   When possible, run the system in single-user mode. If that is not possible, shut down any applications that you want to archive and any applications that require extensive operating system resources.

   You can create a Web Start Flash archive while the master system is running in multiuser mode, single-user mode, or while booted from one of the following:

   • Solaris 9 DVD.

   • Solaris 9 Software 1 of 2 CD.

   • An image of the Solaris 9 Software. If you are using CD media, the image could include the Solaris 9 Languages CD if needed.

2. To create the archive, use the flarcreate command.

   # flarcreate -n name options path/filename

   name	The name that you give the archive. The name you specify is the value of the content_name keyword.
   path	The path to the directory in which you want to save the archive file. If you do not specify a path to save the archive, flarcreate saves the archive file in the current directory.
   filename	The name of the archive file.

   For a list of command-line options, refer to "flarcreate".

   If the archive creation is successful, the flarcreate command returns an exit code of 0. If the archive creation fails, the flarcreate command returns a nonzero exit code.
