make_recovery tools on 9.0

[Sajith Mannadiar]

Hi,

Can I use make_recovery tool of Ignite to create a recovery tape for HPUX 9.0
system.??

If not, how do I create a recovery tape for HPUX 9.0?

Once created can I restore the tape to a hard disk of different capacity??

This is required for me as I am planning to upgrade the hard disk of 9.0 from
300MB to 1GB HDD,

Please help me..

Thanks
Sajith

I believe copyutil was the 9.x utility for creating bootable tapes. Use "man
copyutil" to find the appropriate flags.

Alan is correct about copyutil, but I don't think there's a man page for it. To
use it, I believe you have to boot from the Support Media. It makes a bootable
tape with a dd of your main disk only.

You wouldn't be able to use it to restore to a larger disk, since it copies
everything, including disk headers and format info.
