hi folks
We are rebuilding a GS160 partition over next weekend. It is currently 4.0g
- we plan to go to 5.1a.
We are under a bit of time pressure over the weekend, so I was hoping to
prebuild the 5.1a disk (+ Patch Kit) on another server (an ES40) on which I
have downtime today. Then come the weekend, boot this new system disk on the
target server. Naturally, the hardware database will be totally different.
I've overcome this before in the good-old 4.0 days by booting off
/genvmunix, running a sizer -n, grabbing the relevant H/W config text &
using this to rebuild a new kernel, and then was able to reboot off /vmunix
without any problems
Question is: Is there a way of doing this on tru64 v5 which doesn't involve
a lot of time ?
I am not too concerned about the data - this machine has a small amount of
data which I am going to simply stream back from tape after recreating the
domain under v5.1 (due to the ADVfs differences between v4 & v5)
Anyone done this?
Kind Regards
