Does TCB across different HPUX versions

[Isaac Loven_3]

Hi all,
We have a TCB cluster running HP11.00. We use rdist to ensure all tcb files are the same on all machines.

We wish to add a 10.20 ( and later 11i ) system to our rdist system.

Are the tcb files the same accross each HPUX Version ??
Thanks, Isaac.

The format of the /tcb directory and the files underneath are all in the same format from 10.20 - 11.00 - 11i

Hi,

Though it can be done, it is unsupported by HP.

My usual procedure is to tar up /tcb directory along with /etc/passwd and /etc/group and untar it on the other system. I would also keep a small script that contains customized options using 'modprdef' command. Once I untar tcb, passwd and group files, I uncovert the system, convert it back and then run the modprdef script to restore the customization. This way there will be no hiccups.
