You need to try this, but as long as both are Itanium systems this will probably work.

We did it some years ago the other way.

Superdom Golden Image --> rx6600

The Support answer at that time was going from the big one to the small one is ok, the other way would be not supported.

Bit as Thorsten mentioned, you need to give it a try - probably it will work.

hi,

we made

1, superdome SD32(sx1000) Npar ==> rx4640

2, rx4640 ==> superdome SD32(sx1000) Npar

3, superdome SD32(sx1000) ==> rx7640 (sx2000) Npar

whitout any problem.

 Currently I boot my systems from 8640 vpars, to my currently superdome 2 vpars.  The superdome is running firmware 1.3.1  I have the systems set up as SAN boot.  We just point the SAN from the 8640 over to the superdome 2.  When the system comes up we had to disable icap, and I also removed the vpmon database since the vpars software runs on the firmware in the superdome 2. 

Anyone know what command it is to launch ignite on the superdome.  On the 8640 I would just do vparload -I to get ignite started, but the -I is not a valid option on the superdome 2.

You should use lanboot together with dbprofile from EFI.

Make sure you have a supported  OS version!!!

(OS release 1109 for latest superdome 2 firmware!)
