HP C3000

Can I have 2 HD in a C3000 and have them loaded with 2 different OS or the same OS 10.20 but totaly independent so I can boor one at the time?
Then can I have a back up of my system on a CD or a DVD? Something that can be loaded later from the IDE scsi unit

Re: HP C3000

Yes, if they are boot boot disks, you should be able to boot then one or the other.

at boot, interupt at the 10 second prompt.

To boot off the first disk

bo pri

to boot of the second

bo alt

If there is a problem, You didn't mirror or install the os properly on one or the other disks.

Re: HP C3000

Yes it is possible. Only thing is you need to set the primary path for one disk and alternate path for the other disk.
You can do this using command "setboot" see man setboot. This sets boot parameters for the system. Same can be done at PDC prompt.
And then boot as suggest above.

Re: HP C3000

Yes it is possible to install two versions of HPUX on two different hardisks.

But, you will have the primary loaded automaticly and the other you will have to boot by Interrupting the boot process.

Hope this helps,
