Selective - Make_Recovery

[Scott McDade]

I need to recover to an external hard disk. I basically did a make_recovery of my internal drive and would like to restore it to an external so it can be portable. Does anyone know how to do a selective restore and select and external drive as the target of the restore?

Have a look at this thread. I think this should help you:

boot in single user mode,in bch prompt digit search for hardware path of tape,boot from it and recovey in your external disk.

it might be a little easier to do a

mkboot -b /dev/dsk/
vgextend /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/
lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/
(repeat for each lvol)
lvreduce -m 0 /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/dsk/
(repeat for each lvol)
vgreduce /dev/vg00 /dev/dsk/

but yes you can do what your asking, create the make_recovery with the -i option to make it interactive, boot to tape, then at the menu
make sure the disk you want to recover to is the correct disk (very very important) then let it go.

when your done do

setboot

and check that the pri boot path is the one you want.

good luck!!
