Build B2600 from B2000

[ROUMA]

Hello,
I want to clone a B2600 from a B2000 using Ignite recovery Tape.
Are there any hardware incompatibility risks ?
Am I sure to run B2600 WKS after restore ?
Specs:
Source : 9000/785/B2000
Target : 9000/785/B2600
HP-UX 11.00

Thanks for answer.

Demat Rouma,

I think there is no problem to clone a b2600 from a b2000. There is a possible difference of processor (B2600->PA8600 and B2000->PA8500), but some B2000 has been shipped with PA8600 too. One is a small tower and the other a desktop casing. Same Astro controller, same scsi controller too. Make a ignite backup of your B2600 before, I can mislead me :-)

Good luck
Hope this helps
