I want to use Flash Archive to backup my boot disk.  My boot disk is
Encapsulated with Veritas Volume Manager.  Would that works?

Thanks!

Thomas,

Are sure that the archive extracted will work right away? The disk on
which the archive is extracted would have never been encapsulated in the
first place. So the OP might need to unencapsulate it and reencapsulate
using vxdiskadm. The best way is to create a flash on a master machine
whihc doesnt have its boot disk encapsulated or unencapuslate the
bootdisk, create the flash and reencapsulate it. The veritas packages
are in there as a part of the flash archive.

Shivakanth.

Hi Shivakanth,

you are right. The question was, is it possible, not how to do it.
