Ignite Restore

[SCSI Error]

Hi,

Is it OK to restore an ignite bakcup to a different machine class?

let's say E-Class to R-Class

[Bill Hassell]

It generally will not work unless the interface cards are the same, especially disk and lan. With newer versions of Ignite-UX, there is an advanced option to restore to different hardware but the source machine must already have the required drivers for the target machine.

Hope this helps.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Most of the times the image has not all the needed drivers for the newer hardware.

Both are old, but both are different.

R-class is at least one generation newer than the good old e-class.

Shalom,

Ignite on 11.31 or other supported versions of HP-UX OS does a fairly good job of handling hardware changes, but does not always get it right.

For those situations you have the Ignite Golden Image which is somewhat less hardware dependent.

Since you mentioned R- and e-classes I assume you have 10.20 or less running - very, very old. If it is older, it probably cannot run on the r-class anyway.

Try it or not, but make a backup first.
