migrate a server from B1000 to B2000

[kholikt]

I am thinking to ignite the whole B1000 workstation running 10.20 HPUX and use the image to a B2000 workstation. Would that be any problem?

Hi

I think if your hardware is quit the same it
may be good. (our B1000 and B2000 HW are similar).

Later

Hi,

I would defiantly use ignite, make sure you use B.3.3.116 version and use make_tape_recovery ?AvI options. when you boot B2000 from the tape this will take you in interactive mode and you will be able to customize B2000. If you have data on external disk then don?t forget to do vgexport. I did the same thing with D390 to L2000 and work fine.

On the old system do ?vgexport? using following steps:

vgexport ?p ?v ?s ?m vg01.map /dev/vg01

(Do this for all of the volume groups you have ? do not do it on vg00)

Cut the recovery tape using ignite software:

make_tape_recovery ?AvI

When the O.S. install is done on B2000 do the following steps.

vgimport -v -s -m vg01.map /dev/vg01

vgchange ?a y /dev/vg01

mount -a

Hope this help. GOODLUCK
