You can retrieve a Solaris Flash archive from a local device if you stored the Solaris Flash archive on a file system-oriented, random-access device, such as a diskette or a CD-ROM. Use the following syntax for the archive_location keyword.
You can retrieve an archive from stream-oriented devices, such as tape, by using the syntax for local tape.
archive_location local_device device path/filename file_system_type |
device |
The name of the drive where you stored the Solaris Flash archive. If the device name is a canonical path, the device is mounted directly. If you supply a device name that is not a canonical path, the Solaris Flash installation utilities add /dev/dsk/ to the path. |
path |
The path to the Solaris Flash archive, relative to the root of the file system on the device you specified. If the path contains $HOST, the Solaris Flash installation utilities replace $HOST with the name of the clone system that you are installing. |
filename |
The name of the Solaris Flash archive file. |
file_system_type |
Specifies the type of file system on the device. If you do not supply a file system type, the Solaris Flash installation utilities attempt to mount a UFS file system. If the UFS mount fails, the Solaris Flash installation utilities attempt to mount an HSFS file system. |
Examples:
To retrieve an archive from a local hard drive that is formatted as a UFS file system, use the following command:
archive_location local_device c0t0d0s0 /archives/$HOST
To retrieve an archive from a local CD-ROM that has an HSFS file system, use the following command:
archive_location local_device c0t0d0s0 /archives/usrarchive
