Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS flar image.

2009-09-25 Thread Peter Pickford
Hi Peter,

Do you have any notes on what you did to restore a sendfile to an existing BE?

I'm interested in creating a 'golden image' and restring this into a
new BE on a  running system as part of a hardening project.

Thanks

Peter

 Hi Greg,

 We did a hack on those lines when we installed 100 Ultra 27s that was used
 during J1, but we automated the process by using AI to install a bootstrap
 image that had a SMF service that pulled over the zfs sendfile, create a new
 BE and received the sendfile to the new BE. Work fairly OK, there where a
 few things that we to run a few scripts to fix, but at large it was
 smooth I really need to get that blog entry done :)

 As an alternative, I've been taking a snapshot of rpool on the golden
 system, sending it to a file, and creating a boot environment from the
 archived snapshot on target systems. After fiddling with the snapshots a
 little, I then either appropriately anonymize the system or provide it with
 its identity. When it boots up, it's ready to go.

 The only downfall to my method is that I still have to run the full
 OpenSolaris installer, and I can't exclude anything in the archive.

 Essentially, it's a poor man's flash archive.

 Hi RB,

 We have a draft of the ZFS/flar image support here:

 http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/flash/

 Make sure you review the Solaris OS requirements.

 Thanks,

 Cindy

yes but it needs solaris update 7 or later to install a zfs flar
see

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/flash/;jsessionid=AB24EEFB6955AD505F19A152CDEC84A8

isn't supported on opensolaris by the way.
