We installed HPUX 11.11 (fully patch updated) on one server.
We would like to find out if it is possible to use this complete HPUX 11.11 server to create an image of it to be installed on the remaining 4 servers? If so, how?
Regards,
Chad

Re: sys image for other servers
Are you using same type of hardware? Or all 5 server are different. For similar hardware, just use make_tape_recovery to create a tape backup and then restore to other 4 server.
Regards,
Sandy

Re: sys image for other servers
'make_net_recovery' or 'make_sys_image' are the command line commands to consider.

SolutionI used the following command
/opt/ignite/date/scripts/make_sys_image -s local -d /dev/rmt/0m -l 2 -n B.11.11_archive.gz
You should give a read to the golden image chapter in Ignite admin doc. before you begin and to see more of the options.
Note: the system has to be as quiet as possible in order to use make_sys_image

Re: sys image for other servers
Here is my cloning process.
1) cold install, patch, configure serverA
2) run make_net_recovery to get image of serverA
3) Create directory for serverB in /var/opt/ignnite/clients/0xLLA ( MAC of serverB)
3a) chown above to bin:bin
4) link /var/opt/ignite/clients/0xLLA to ./serverB_hostname
5) cd /var/opt/ignite/serverA
6) find CINDEX recovery|cpio -pmdv ../serverB
7) edit host and exports file to add serverB IP ( to be IP )
8) lanboot serverB to Ignite server, select Ignite server install and advanced
8a) Beins this is PARISC you will need to configure the Ignite DHCP stuff to get an IP /etc/opt/ignite/instl_boottab).
9) During install answer questions, set specifics, and GO..

Re: sys image for other servers
If you have an ignite server you could use the following syntax
/opt/ignite/data/scripts/./make_sys_image -s
Also as tim tells you if hardware is not that dissimilar among your server pool, it is probable that a make_tape_recovery works.
