Gurus,
I am running a Netra 240 with Solaris 8 and a DVD burner and I have been
creating flash archives for a user for some time now, but they have
requested that the archives be burnt to DVD's now rather than tapes as
before. The archives of this system are in excess of 6GB's so they
won't fit on a single DVD. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was
a way to span the archive across multiple DVD's.
I did a bit of Googling, but the only thing relevant I found concerned
me. It was an archive from a previous Sunmanagers question. The
summary said:
The "official" Sun support answer vis a vis having an archive
split over multiple CDs was: "...at this time there is no way to do
this.
[The engineers] said they will revisit this in Solaris 10."
But this is from August of 2003, and I am hoping that someone might know
of a way to do this by now. I looked at flar split but I am unsure that
this is going to give me what I need. Should I just split the archive
and then burn one DVD's worth of data then burn the rest to the other
disc? Is there a particular set of files that must be on the first
disc? This route would require booting off of the Solaris CD then
choosing flash install correct?
Does anyone have any insight into this issue?
Thanks in advance and I will summarize!
Thanks,
Chad Truhn
