Will make_recovery work from D220 to D320 server

[Debbie Fleith]

I need to copy the HP-UX 10.20 configuration from an HP D220 to a D230 server and would like to use make_recovery.

The hard disk on the D320 and memory configurations will be larger capacity than the D220, and I'm not sure about what other differences which might cause a problem.

Is there any documentation which shows which servers are compatible with make_recovery?

The big difference between these boxes is the FWD vs SE scsi controllers, but there may be some other hardware differences that may be problematic at well. You could try a make_recovery (it may work), but I would make sure that you are fully prepared to do a full initial install if this fails.

Is there any Instant Ignite documentation which shows which servers make_utility would work well with? Or is it the general rule that both servers must have the exact hardware configuration and must be the same HP model?

I think it will work.
We have started, some month ago, an installation process based on make_recovery. We have created a make_recovery tape based on a D230. This tape worked on D,R system and on older system (E), we have to reconfigure the network product (swconfig ...)
