Hello Lori,

Thank you again for the quick reply.

Unfortunately, I had mistakenly anticipated a somewhat quicker integration than Solaris 10u8.

Approaching this from another angle, would it be possible for me to build a jumpstart server using a current Solaris Nevada b107/SXCE, and to ultimately jumpstart Solaris 10u6 clients with a ZFS root using a flash archive as a source?

thank you,

Jerry Kemp
