You would run into the same problems with ufsdump as you would with
flar. Flar is just smart enough to tell you that it's a bad idea. I'm
not sure exactly what the installer does differently with different
sparc architectures and systems and but it's a safe bet it's quite a
bit, a little more to it than which kernel to load. Probably why I don't
think anyone even bothers. I would say it's fresh install time, and move
the data over the 'fun' way. If you had a Solaris zone (container) you
wanted to move to another sparc system, then it makes it pretty easy!
Unfortunately SRSS doesn't work in a zone. =(

Hi Christoph,
Flar is only intended for use with exact matching archutecture machines. For
cloning machines, you could try with the good old way, using ufsdump /
ufsrestore. Rebooting your newly cloned machine with the reconfigure option
("boot -r" at OBP, or "touch /reconfigure" on the root of the newly cloned
machine) should do the trick. I didn't test it with Sun4v -> Sun4u however...
