## NAME

> flcreate - SMCT command to create a generic flash archive from the node group software

## SYNOPSIS

> `flcreate -f flash-archive -n swl-name -v swl-version -g node-group-name [-e export-dir] [-c config-dir] [-l logfile] [-V verbosity-level] [-h]`

## DESCRIPTION

> Do not use the SMCT tool with the current patch level of the Foundation Services product.

> The `flcreate` command creates a generic flash archive from the node group software that is installed on the prototype machine. This command is run once for each master-eligible and dataless node group, as each node group is processed individually.

> The `flcreate` command must be run as a superuser.

> The following configuration files are used by `flcreate` to configure the network between the prototype machine and the installation server. They must be completed before running the `flcreate` command:

> - `install-server.conf`

>   For more information on the `install-server.conf` file, see the `install-server.conf`(4) man page.

> - `master-system.conf`

>   For more information on the `master-system.conf` file, see the `master-system.conf`(4) man page.

## OPTIONS

> The options that you can use with the `flcreate` command are:

> -f flash-archive

>   Absolute path and file name of the flash archive. If only the name of the flash archive is provided, the flash archive is created in the default directory specified by the SMCT variable `SMCT_FLASH_DIR`. This is an ASCII string.

> -n swl-name

>   Name of the software load to process. This is an ASCII string.

> -v swl-version

>   Version of the software load to process. This is an ASCII string.

> -g node-group-name

>   Name of the nodes group associated to the flash archive. This is an ASCII string defined in the file `cluster.conf`.

> -e export-dir

>   Directory where the software load data has been copied to by the `slexport` command. This option overrides the export directory specified by the SMCT variable `SMCT_EXPORT_DIR`, which is defined in the `smct.env` file. For more information on the `smct.env` file, see the `nhsmctsetup`(1M) man page.

> -c config-dir

>   Directory where the cluster configuration files are located. This option overrides the configuration directory specified by the SMCT variable `SMCT_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR`, which is defined in the `smct.env` file. For more information on the `smct.env` file, see the `nhsmctsetup`(1M) man page.

> -l log-file

>   Name of the file that is sent information and error messages. By default these messages are displayed on the console.

> -V verbose-level

>   Verbosity level. Values are 1, 2, or 3, where 1 is minimal traces and 3 is detailed information.

> -h

>   Displays help information.
