You can only use Flash archive on the Solaris 10 operating system. In the following outline, refer to Solaris documentation for Solars-specific tasks.

Note:

Symantec does not support Flash Archive installation if the root disk of the master system is encapsulated.

The following is an overview of the creation and installation of a Flash archive with Veritas software.

If you plan to start flar (flash archive) creation from bare metal, perform step 1 through step 10.
If you plan to start flar creation from a system where you have installed but not configured the product, perform step 1 through step 4. Skip step 5 and finish step 6 through step 10.
If you plan to start flar creation from a system where you have installed and configured the product, perform step 5 through step 10.
