Thanks will go to:
Lanier, John <john.lanier@hp.com>
Graham Allan <allan@physics.umn.edu>
Nikola Milutinovic <Nikola.Milutinovic@ev.co.yu>
who gave suggestions or send me script's (John).
All suggested if disk are still alive to copy data direct from old to new
disk's.
This was not done because we want to know if we can restore from the tape's
we created.
I added some step's (use of nrmt0h, set fstype on swap partition, set date
and time after
restore - was 18.04.1904).
I have done:
go to single user for backup:
>>>boot -fl s
# /sbin/bcheckrc
# cd /
# dump -0f /dev/nrmt0h /
# cd /usr
# dump -0f /dev/nrmt0h /usr
# cd /home
# dump -0f /dev/rmt0h /home
# sync; sync
# halt
change old -> new third-party disk's
restore:
-> insert OS-CD
>>>show dev
>>>boot DKA400
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV rz0 rz1 tz5
# cd /
# disklabel -rw -t ufs rz0 rz0
# disklabel -e rz0 (to change partition sizes if needed)
# disklabel -s /dev/rrz0b swap
# disklabel -rw rz1 rz1
# newfs /dev/rrz0a /dev/rrz0a
# fsck /dev/rrz0a
# newfs /dev/rrz0g /dev/rrz0g
# fsck /dev/rrz0g
# newfs /dev/rrz1c /dev/rrz1c
# fsck /dev/rrz1c
-> insert / tape
# mt -f /dev/rmt0h rew
# mount /dev/rz0a /mnt
# cd /mnt
# restore -Yrf /dev/rmt0h
# cd /
# umount /mnt
# mount /dev/rz0g /mnt
# cd /mnt
# mt -f /dev/nrmt0h fsf 1
# restore -Yrf /dev/rmt0h
# cd /
# umount /mnt
# mount /dev/rz1c /mnt
# cd /mnt
# mt -f /dev/nrmt0h fsf 2
# restore -Yrf /dev/rmt0h
# cd /
# umount /mnt
# sync; sync
# shutdown -h now
>>>boot -fl s
# swapon -a
# /sbin/bcheckrc
check if everything look's ok (especially date and time!!) and reboot to
multiuser
# sync; sync
# shutdown -r now
