Flash archive on zfs means archiving an entire root pool (minus any explicitly excluded datasets), not an individual BE. These types of flash archives can only be installed using Jumpstart and are intended to install an entire system, not an individual BE.

Flash archives of a single BE could perhaps be implemented in the future.

I've been hoping to get my hands on patches that permit Sol10U7 to do a 
luupgrade -f of a ZFS root-based ABE since Solaris 10 10/08.

Unfortunately, after applying patchids 119534-15 and 124630-26 to both the PBE and the 
miniroot of the OS image, I'm still getting the same "ERROR: Field 2 - Invalid disk 
name (insert_abe_name_here)".

The flarcreate command I used was simply
  #  flarcreate -n root_var_no_snap /export/fssnap/flars/root_var

which created a flar file that was about 4 to 5 times the size of a UFS-based 
flar file.

I then used the command

  # luupgrade -f -n be_d70 -s /export/fssnap/os_image \
  > -a /export/fssnap/flars/root_var

which then failed with the pfinstall diagnostic given above.

What am I still doing wrong?
