Hi all,
the solution of my problems came from
"Dr Thomas.Blinn_at_HP.com" <tpb_at_doctor.zk3.dec.com>
He pointed out that copying the old fstab was the error. I overlooked
that in the fstab of V5.1 now a special mount for /var exists. By
copying this
got lost.
Somewhat later I got the hint about this different structure also from
"Copeland KCK, Rich" <Rich.Copeland.KCK_at_gentiva.com>
Thanks to both of you
SUMMARY (my personal action/check list, as it worked now):
- New Installation
- advscan -r dskX
- edit content of old fstab into new /etc/fstab !!!
- mount the disk with the backup files
- mkdir old mount points
- mount -a
- netsetup, DNSsetup, nfssetup
- copy from old /etc/ to new /etc:
printcap
latstartup.conf
hosts.*
securettys
ftpusers
bootptab
tftptab (one some systems)
shells
- do latsetup
- restore /var/adm/lmf/ ldb and ldb_history (get license database)
- copy -i /usr/skel/* to /usr/skel
- copy /var/spool/lpd* to /var/spool
- do nissetup
- restore /var/yp/src (only for NIS master)
- do nissetup (using modify)
- Check:
/etc/inittab for lat gettys
/usr/sys/conf/NODENAME for changes made to the old system
compare /etc/sysconfigtab, edit changes from old /etc/sysconfigtab
Regards
Otto
