Hi osf managers,
We have advfs in our system. We have an application whose license is
depending on the inode number of some of the executable.

We had a disk crash. When we replaced the disk and restored from the tar
backup, the old license was not working. We later got the license from the
software supplier.

I tried dd, but it was hanging even after 4 hrs. Then, I stopped it.

How do we take an image dump of disk RZ29B so that when a new disk is
installed and the back-up is restored, all data should be exactly at the
same cylinders/sectors as that of the original disk ?

Thanks in advance.
