Flash Archive
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2012 12:53 pm
Solaris provides flash archive for some time.
I never got a flash archive applied to OS successfully before.
I think it is important to get a copy of the archive for hsiao.net in case something happened and I will still have the image to rebuild.
The steps look straightforward to me. I just need a machine to apply the flash archive to see how it really works.

Check the structure of the flash archive
More information can be obtained from Oracle site:
