In this example, the archive is named archive1. This archive is copied exactly from the master system and then compressed. The archive is an exact duplicate of the master system and is stored in archive1.flar.
# flarcreate -n archive1 -c archive1.flar |
To check the file structure of the archive, type the following.
# flar info -l archive1.flarlost+found export export/home export/home/lost+found var var/sadm var/sadm/install var/sadm/install/admin var/sadm/install/admin/default var/sadm/install/logs var/sadm/install/contents var/sadm/install/.lockfile var/sadm/install/.pkg.lock var/sadm/pkg var/sadm/pkg/SUNWocfd var/sadm/pkg/SUNWocfd/install var/sadm/pkg/SUNWocfd/install/copyright var/sadm/pkg/SUNWocfd/save var/sadm/pkg/SUNWocfd/save/pspool var/sadm/pkg/SUNWocfd/save/pspool/SUNWocfd ..... ..... usr/bin/sparcv7 usr/bin/sparcv7/savecore usr/bin/sparcv7/gcore .... .... usr/lib/diff3prog usr/lib/madv.so.1 usr/lib/mpss.so.1 usr/lib/cpu usr/lib/cpu/sparcv8plus .... .... devices/pseudo/udp6@0:udp6 devices/pseudo/udp@0:udp devices/pseudo/tcp@0:tcp devices/pseudo/iwscn@0:iwscn devices/pseudo/wc@0:wscons devices/pseudo/tcp6@0:tcp6 devices/pseudo/sctp6@0:sctp6 var/fm/fmd/ckpt var/fm/fmd/rsrc kernel/drv/st.conf kernel/drv/st.conf kernel/drv/st.conf kernel/drv/st.conf # |
In this example, some individual files are greater than 4 Gbytes. The default archiving utility, cpio, cannot handle these large files. The -L pax copy method is used to create an archive that contains large individual files. The archive is named archive1. This archive is copied exactly from the master system and then compressed. The archive is an exact duplicate of the master system and is stored in archive1.flar.
# flarcreate -L pax -n archive1 -c archive1.flar |
To check the file structure of the archive, type the following.
# flar info -l archive1.flar aaa aaa/bbb aaa/bbb/ccc aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd aaa/bbb/fff aaa/eee aaa/eee ggg |
In this example, the archive is named archive4. This archive is copied exactly from the master system and then compressed. The archive is an exact duplicate of the master system and is stored in archive4.flar. The -R option is used to create the archive from another directory tree.
# flarcreate -n archive4 -c -R /x/yy/zz archive4.flar |
In this example, the archive is named archive3. This archive is copied exactly from the master system and then compressed. Options add descriptions to the archive-identification section, which can help you to identify the archive later. For information about keywords, their values, and formats, see Solaris Flash Keywords.
# flarcreate -n archive3 -i 20000131221409 -m pumbaa \ -e "Solaris 8 Print Server" -a "Mighty Matt" -U "Internal Finance" \ -T server archive3.flar |
After the archive is created, you can access the archive identification section that contains the detailed description. An example of an archive identification section follows.
