Root disk change

[Irek_1]

Hi,
i need to change root disk im my server. This is L-klass with HPUX-11.0. I have some other mounted disks. How to do this the easiest way?
Thanks

[Irek_1]

The root disk is 9GB, i want to replace it with new 36GB. I want to copy all files from the root disk and keep the configuration of the other two mounted disks.

The only way to replace a root disk with a larger size one is to use HP's Ignite software to backup to tape or ignite server via the network, then replace the disk, and boot from the ignite backup and it will recover your vg00 to the new disk.

Hi,

I think that make_tape_recovery will work for you. Download the latest version from

http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html

and after installation launch

make_tape_recovery -x inc_entire=vg00

After disk replacement you can restore by booting from tape created from make_tape_recovery.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Ettore
