Entire Hard Disk Clone in Compaq Alphaserver DS 10 with a Tru64 Unix ?
Dear All,
First of all i want to say that I am very beginner to this kind of operating systems. In my work there is a computer Compaq Alphaserver DS 10 with a Tru64 Unix 4.0F. My problem is that In the computer there is 60 GB Hard Disk, I want to copy entire disk to a new hard disk for redundancy. If there is a system failure , i will just want to install the new hard disk (may be the disk might have different capacity).
What is the easiest way to do that? Is there a software or command doing that?
Best regards.

Re: Entire Hard Disk Clone in Compaq Alphaserver DS 10 with a Tru64 Unix ?
I'm not a Tru64 guy either, but like other UNIXs there are some common features. You might want to look at the logical storage manager documentation at http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V40F_HTML/AQ3NCETE/TITLE.HTM. If your trying to create a mirrored bootable image that would be a good place to look.
Also, most UNIXs have the "dd" command which lets you do a low level Disk to Disk copy. You should be able to bring up the manual page from the command line by typing "man dd".

You could
- install/fit the new disk
- label it with disklabel remembering to make it bootable for your root filesystem type (advfs or UFS)
- make root, usr, var filesystems (and any others) on the new disk
- mount each in turn, and use vdump | vrestore to copy the old partitions to the new partitions
- test boot from the new/spare disk
- repeat occasionally to keep the spare up to date
Do read the man pages for disklabel, mkfdmn, mkfset or newfs, and vdump and vrestore, particularly the example sections.
