Thanx to
Sjolshagen, Thomas (Tru64 UNIX Eng.)" [Thomas.Sjolshagen@hp.com],
"tsh@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk" [tsh@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk]
The options suggested were
1. use RIS and Install Clone using install.cdf files to replicate machines
2. We can also boot through genvmunix and
ON THE TARGET ROOT FILESYSTEM:
delete /etc/dec_*
delete /etc/dfsc.dat
touch /etc/dfsc.dat
delete /dev/disk/*
/dev/rdisk/*
/dev/tape/*
/dev/ntape/*
Halt the machine and:
>>> set auto_action halt
>>> set bootdef_dev ""
>>> boot dka0 -flags s -file /genvmunix #assuming root is on dka0
When booted:
mountroot #mount the root filesystem
dsfmgr -K #create 'special' files for all detected devices
bcheckrc #mount the rest of the filesystems in /etc/fstab
Edit /etc/hosts #change hostname/ipaddr
/etc/rc.config
/etc/sysconfigtab #change swapdevice if necessary
Build a new kernel if necessary
Halt, set auto_action to desired state and reboot.
Fix any complaints from dsf with dsfmgr -F -v
Thanx
Balaji./
