I appreciate that this subject has been covered in depth in previous
postings; I've been through the archives and found some good references and
feel that I have a good idea as to how to go about it.

I intend to copy the H70 to the p610 by doing the following:

* boot the p610 from the 4.3.3 o/s cd
* restore the mksysb created on the H70 to the 610
* Once thats all completed ok, recreate all required VG's & LV's and then
restore all related data manually.

I'd like to ask one question if I may:

The 610 currently has aix 5.2 pre-installed on it. I have heard whisperings
that the 610 will have problems with the restore of the mksysb from the H70.
>From what I've read in the archives the general concensus seems to be you
can pretty much clone anything to anything - Can anybody confirm that it
should be ok to restore the H70's mksysb to the p610??

TIA for any replies, they're much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Barry
