Cloning on superdome

[gab_in]

Hi,

We want to clone an nPAR partition in HP-UX Superdome which is running an application with Oracle 10G database.

Can you please tell me whether it is possible to clone application and oracle database along with HP-UX OS. Later we will change the hostname and IP Address of the new nPAR. If possible what is the procedure for the same and what are the things to be considered ?

Thanks in advance.

Shalom,

Ignite is the only supported system cloning tool.

http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/

Lots of ways to do it.

The tool comes with the OS.

Hi

Take Ignite backup and restore

[gab_in]

thanks for the information.

In case of ignite , we will need to create the new nPAR partition using 'npartitions' and then restore the ignite backup. Am I correct ?

What are the things to be considered and checked before going for the this approach?

Thanks
