How can I move OS from one disk to second?

[Anton_3]

I have Workstation HP9000/785 with 9Gb hdd. I want setup 18 Gb disk into workstation and remove 9Gb. How move all software and patches to new disk?

I want create partitions in new disk (with LVM) (partitions on new and old disk are not equal).
Then move all data from old disk to new by ( tar cfb - 20 |tar xfb - 20) on second workstation.

It is correct ? Or exist alternate path ?

P.S. Sorry my english.

You could use Ignite to create a recovery tape using make_recovery - then you could use this tape to reinstall the OS onto the new disk. Boot off the new disk and then transfer your data over from the old disk?

Make_recovery is a way see http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90704/B2355-90704_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90704/00/00/55-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90704/00/00/55-toc.html&searchterms=make_recovery&queryid=20010423-042423.

If you want:
dd if=/dev/rdsk/cxtyd0 of=/dev/rdsk/cxtzd0 bs=4096k
cxtyd0 is the disk origin.

The easiest way would be to use ignite. Take a make_recovery on a tape and then reinstall on the new disk. Ignite allows you to change the FS sizes etc.

Hope this helps.
