COPYUTIL and new disk

[jp]

Similar case to previous, but..
UX 10.20, std 2gb scsi disk addr 6, dds tape on 3, external CD on 1. Want to copy op sys disk to a 4.2 gb drive (HP unit). Added disk at addr 5, SAM can see it, did a mediainit, created a file system, everything looks fine. Boot to ODE from CD, run MAPPER, it can see drive on 5, as well as DDS, CD, 2gb disk on 6. Start copyutil, it scans, cant see the disk at address 5 - only the DDS and drive at addr 6. tried changing address to 4, same. The scsi bus is terminated on the CD, no change.
I have done this before to copy disk to disk to clone an op sys set up, using the same verison of Diag CD (June 99). System is a 715/80. Is it possible copyutil cant see bigger disks, like 4.2gb??? If MAPPER can see it, why should copyutil fail?
TIA,
jp

'copyutil' has be obsoleted for ignite 'make_tape_recovery'. Cloning and other O/S restores or installations are now down this way. For example, it takes a 'make_tape_recovery' 45 minutes to automatically restore an O/S and about 2 hours to clone another system with the same tape. Here's the download site:

Hi,
For using copyutiul u need to shutdown the OS and need to be done on ODE.It is very very old and no more supported.
The better way is using Ignite-UX software to clone the systems. make_tape_recovery takes the backup of your root VG on a tape. Ucan boot with the tape and do a cloning.

1.Download the Ignite-UX from
http://software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html
2. Install the S/W on the source system where your source disk is there.
3. Execute the following command to create bootable tape (Replace the device file of tape as seen on your system).
#make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00 -Iv -a /dev/rmt/0mn
4.Boot through the tape in the new machine and install the S/W.

Thanks for the news about new method to achieve the result, but it still doesnt tell me why the extra HDD cant be seen by copyutil, when every other part of UX can see it....My previous experience was that it was quicker to copy disk to disk with no pass out to tape and back again. In that case we had some 20 systems to build where the only difference was hostname and IP after software install.
ANyway, I will try the new method and see how I go.
Thanks,

Okay, next dumb question.
I downloaded the file, copied it to the 715, put it in /var/spool/sw , but swinstall says it cant find /var/spool/sw at all. I had to create an sw subdir, I am doing all this as root, where am I going wrong please?

TIA,

Ok, I downloaded the depot file, put it in /var/spool/sw. Pointed swinstall at it, it tells me there is no compatible software in the package??? My uname returns 10.20, the depot is named 10.xx 700-800, so what gives please?
I am going to try dd'ing the rdsk just in case it works.
