Vasya and others: To retrieve flash archive with luupgrade, you can do this:
1. Use lucreate to create an ABE with the -s option, this will not copy the file system over but just create the ABE. i.e.: #lucreate -n snv_53 -c 5.10 -s - -m /:/dev/dsk/c0d1s0:ufs 2. Then use luupgrade with the -f option to retrieve the flash archive over. If you want to retrieve snv_53 flash archive, then you have to use the snv_53 OS image to do this: # luupgrade -f -n snv_53 -a /net/ins3525-svr/export1/rw/snv_53.line2-v480.SUNWCXall.sun4u.Sun-Fire-480R.cpio -s /net/ins3525-svr/export/nv/dvds/53 3. Then luactivate and do init 6 reboot to the new ABE: # luactivate snv_53 # sync; init 6 Vasiliy wrote: > If it is about changing existed bits - it should be populated.
