    The idea is that you should detect which whether you are booted 64
    bit or 32 bit.
    For the one that you are booted with, no need to re-download the
    archive.  Just create the
    symlink as appropriate.  Then, download the archive one you are
    not booted with, and create the
    link.

Since the boot archive we booted from is not stored on the client we cannot just change the link. Since we need both to install we need to re-download it.
Sorry to not be clear on this.

You do not need to re-download and create the symlink for the architecture you are booted with. The transfer module will take care of copying everything the system is running with to the target. The text installer will only look for an archive of the architecture you are
not booted with, and this is only done for X86.  It's not done for SPARC.

Please take a look at usr/src/cmd/text-install/osol_install/text_install/ti_install.py, lines 328-341.


    - lines 348-368, for sparc, I don't think you need to download the
    boot archives
    again since you are already running it.  Perhaps you just need to
    adjust the link.

Same.


For sparc, you don't need to download any archives. The sun4u and sun4v archives
are not split up.

Thanks,
