HP-UX 8 went out of support some 10+ years ago.
There is/was no Ignite/UX for it, and there is/was no mirroring for it.
Your best hope is to use dd (but be aware that the discs need to be identical, and it is a bit by bit copy so it will copy errors across) or use fbackup to backuop the disk, install to the new disk and then frecover to it.

HP-UX 8.0 was released in 1991!

I find it hard to believe that you're still running on something that old and harder still to believe that you want to clone it to make another hopelessly outdated system. There is certainly no make_recovery for 8.0. The only possible way to clone it would be to dd the disk onto another:

dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0 bs=1024k

It seems impossible but it is just true.
My maxim is:
If it works don't touch it. ;)

Amazing! It says something about the reliability of HP hardware and software, doesn't it?

Personally, I feel that Harry's answer deserves a few points just for entertainment value!

Mark Syder (like the drink but spelt different)

It's correct Mark
