Dear managers,
I've to install 15 ES40 with Tru64 5.0A and additional software plus the
patches.
So it takes a long time to install all the machines from scratch, so i'm
searching for a faster solution.
(No we didn't have access to an install server ):
The system disk has bascily 3 partitions
Partition Mount Filesystem
a / advfs
b swap
d /usr advfs
I found two ways to dupblicate the disk
1. with dd
2. with vdump | vrestore
After dupclication i switched the duplicated drive into slot 0 in the drive
cage and booted.
It seems that the device management under 5.0A has changed in a drastic way.
The system didn't come up in multiuser mode.
The problem is that the duplicated disk is still /dev/disk/dsk1 instead of
/dev/dsk/dsk0
I found out the hwmgr and dsfmgr are the user interface to the device
databeses which are not human readable :(
Is anybody out there with helping words or suggestions or would like to do
the same thing and had more success?
Greetings
