If you use the flarcreate command to create a Solaris Flash archive and use the -L pax option, the installation of the archive hangs on a Sun4v system. The archive failure occurs during the retrieval of the archive. This failure affects the both the T1000 and T2000 models.
The following error message is displayed.

Workaround: Create the archive by using the cpio copy option. The cpio option is the default. See the following example:
# flarcreate -n test.flar.sun4v.cpio -c /net/server/export1/rw/test.flar.sun4v.cpio |
