If you have VM, define minidisks on the new box, shut them down and image copy from the old disks to the new minidisks. As long as the virtual addresses remain the same in the virtual machines, Linux won't know or care. DDR will work, as will FDR image restore...8-) > Before I forget, I was going to move the model 1's that are used as swap > space to VM mini disks, and I was thinking about using a mod 9+ (aka > mod 27 or larger) to hold the swap mdisks for several of the Linux > systems. Does anyone know if this is a good, bad, or doesn't matter idea? Ditch real disks entirely and switch to VDISK. Get a copy of SWAPGEN from www.sinenomine.net and don't look back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
