Transferring root partn. to a new Hard disk

[Sajith Mannadiar]

Hi,

We have a HP 400 series system with a 300MB root HDD running HPUX 9.0.

Now we want to upgrade this to HPUX 9.10 for Y2K compliance.

As we don't have enough space in the existing HDD we need to transfer the
entire root partition to a 1GB Hard disk and then do the upgrade.

As this is a cluster server for two other nodes and lot of custom
configurations are done on this,we don't want to risk a re-installation of OS
on this system.

Now, my question is, how to make the new 1GB hard disk bootable with 9.0 and
transfer the root partition from the old 300MB hard disk.

An early reply to this is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Sajith

I found a good doc to do with 11.x but this might help you as well have a look
at document id : UNX1100150 in the HP KB. Although I think make recovery was
called something else in 9.x
