# Creating the Solaris Flash Archive From the Master System

Create the Solaris Flash archive of the integrated software stack after installing and configuring the software on the master system.

Use the flarcreate(1M) command to create the Solaris Flash archive.

For example, to create a Solaris Flash archive named `Netra082202.apache.flar`, type the following:

    # /usr/sbin/flar create -n apacheServer -u ic_cfgparams \
      -c /flarchive/Netra082202.apache.flar

The `-n` option assigns its value, `apacheServer`, to the `content_name` keyword in the Solaris Flash archive. You can view archive keywords by using the browser interface or the command-line interface. See How to View or Modify File Properties (Web Browser) or How to View File or Folder Properties (Command Line).

`/flarchive` is the target directory name in which the Solaris Flash archive is created. The example command line creates an archive named `Netra082202.apache.flar` in the target directory.

Archive parameters must be described in a text file called `ic_cfgparams`. The file must be located in the directory from which the `flar create` command is invoked. This file must also be specified as a "user-defined section" of the Solaris Flash archive by using the `-u` option to the `flar create` command.

Note -

Ensure that the target directory has sufficient disk space to accommodate the Solaris Flash archive.

Import this archive to the Change Manager repository for deployment to managed hosts.
