Jumpstart flash image for archiving server

Hi all,

Is it possible to un-encapsulate a 480 server boot drive, flasharchive it and
save to a jumpstart server and then re-jump with that flash image and
re-encapsulate to get it back to its original state? This because you cant
flash a drive with vol mgr configured.

Reason for this is that we have more application environments than actual
480's. We're trying to figure a way to fully load a 480 with 2.8/vol
mgr/applications, then archive it so we can reload quickly if we need that
application environment again. We are also considering SAN images, Netbackup
tape archives but trying to find out about flash imaging right now. Any other
suggestions would be appreciated if you have the same hardware limitations.

Thanks.
