Now I have a spare Dualnode-Cluster (D380) which I would like to use for testing, upgrades etc...
Can I use an ignite tape created on an RP5430 to create an (almost) identical Cluster on my D380s ?
Or do I have to make a fresh install ?
Thanks
Christian

Re: Using Ignite to clone HPUX from a RP5430 to a D380 ?
Nope - I wouldn't even try.
HW diffs are just too great.
A K-class image has a fighting chance, however.
My 2 cents,
Jeff

Re: Using Ignite to clone HPUX from a RP5430 to a D380 ?
Make sure you have the latest ignite version loaded on the server to do it. It is now supported.
Look at the FAQ here
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/faq.html#catList
I would install|re-install the latest QPK/HWE bundles after the cloning.

One note of warning, if your D-box has any EISA cards that you want to use then your ONLY option is 32-bit HP-UX. No EISA cards are supported at 64-bit.

In this case the kernels are different so you cannot clone. RP5430 = L1500

Re: Using Ignite to clone HPUX from a RP5430 to a D380 ?
I hoped that I would get other answers :-|
So it looks like I have to do a fresh install of all my various OS (10.20, 11.0, 11.11) and try to match the Patchlevels as close as possible.
I was/am so happy to have a complete two-node cluster for evaluation of new SW, preview rolling Upgrades etc.
Has anybody a good idea to "clone" my production-systems onto the D-Class ?

Read the attached PS: Key is " It is also important to note that certain D- and K-class systems will require a firmware upgrade to support 11.00 (64-bit)."
If you are going to fresh re-install the D, you can give it a try. As pointed to by Clay, you may get into trouble with your EISA cards.
I successfully cloned RP7400s image onto an RP8400. But I had to reinstall quite a few softwares to support the n-pars.

PS:
//
How can I know whether I can install a 64-bit OS on a system?
When using the B.* version of Ignite-UX (which is capable of installing 11.00 64-bit OS), execute the following:
strings /opt/ignite/boot/INSTALLFS | grep 9000 | grep 64
This will produce a list of the known system models that are 64-bit capable. If the second value listed is 64, it can only run 64-bit. If it is 32/64, it can run either 32-bit or 64-bit. If the system model being installed is not there, it is limited to 32-bit only.
If you were only interested in one particular model (say a K370), execute the following:
strings /opt/ignite/boot/INSTALLFS | grep 9000 | grep 64 | grep K370
If nothing is output, then the model is limited to 32-bit installs only.
I It is also important to note that certain D- and K-class systems will require a firmware upgrade to support 11.00 (64-bit). Ignite-UX will inform you of this fact, but it can easily get lost amongst everything being logged. Check the install.log file just after the ioscan is done.

Re: Using Ignite to clone HPUX from a RP5430 to a D380 ?
I'm afraid your "cloning" will have to be of the manual variety. Cold install the O/S, copy site specific configuation files (passwd, groups, hosts, hosts.equiv, resolv.conf, nsswitch.conf, profile, PATH - and any others you can think of), copy or reinstall software apps as required. That's the way I usually set up servers initially. It's not all that difficult once you get a handle on what local configurations you need to duplicate.
