Cool.
Just a general comment: Since the term flash is quite overloaded,
especially in the context of ZFS, I suggest that you use the
term flash archive together whenever possible, to
Thanks for the reply!
My /var issue was a problem with my process.. I did:
install UFS root, install extra stuff, create UFS flar.
lucreate ZFS root - this is where my /var dissappeared
flar create zfs flar
In my straight zfsroot install profiles I have a seperate /var - I didn't even

Hi Kris,
The /tmp issue described below looks like a bug to me.
I will try to reproduce this and get back to you with either

Thanks,

Hi.
First - Thanks very much for releasing this as a patch and not making us wait
until U8. It's very much appreciated. Things we put on hold can start moving
again which is a good thing.
Is there further documentation on this yet? I haven't been able to find it, and

I've been hoping to get my hands on patches that permit Sol10U7 to do a
luupgrade -f of a ZFS root-based ABE since Solaris 10 10/08.
Unfortunately, after applying patchids 119534-15 and 124630-26 to both the PBE
and the miniroot of the OS image, I'm still getting the same ERROR: Field 2 -
Flash archive on zfs means archiving an entire root pool (minus any
explicitly excluded datasets), not an individual BE. These types of
flash archives can only be installed using Jumpstart and are intended to
install an entire system, not an individual BE.

jumpstarts can be extended to support luupgrade -f at some point soon.

Hello Lori,
It has been a while since this has been discussed, and I am hoping that
you can provide an update, or time estimate. As we are several months
into Update 7, is there any chance of an Update 7 patch, or are we still
waiting for Update 8.

Bob,
Patches that allow the creation and installation of a flash archive on a

Thank you again for the quick reply.

Any update to this issue, and can you speculate as to if it will be a
patch to Solaris 10u6, or part of 10u7?
Thanks again,

Latest is that this will go into an early build of Update 8
and be available as a patch shortly thereafter (shortly
after it's putback, that is. The patch doesn't have to wait for U8
to be released.)
I will update the CR with this information.

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not
possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive

Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near
