Aah ! Thanks, Chandrakumar ! I have filed yr email addr in my Address Book, I may need your help for doing the same juggling of Server-Client xchange on NT4 platform. Have you done it, by any chance ? But it will be discussed off the list, if you do'nt mind, off-course ! Now to your response & my explanation : > If in the first machine if the hard disk to be shadowed is 'hda' then make > the same > 'hda' on the target machine, I mean Primary Master harddisk in the source > machine should go as Primary Master in target machine. 1) Yes, there was 'hdxx' difference in Server m/c. I made the Winxx parttion as 'hidden' partition, so it wo'nt recognise changed hardware in client m/c - Winxx is booted thru multi-boot. 2) I also disabled the sound-driver, and video settings in X-server in both the m/cs. 3) I disabled Kudzu, so it wo'nt give me trouble for my mouse - popping irritating messages of changed hardware. 4) I changed IP addresses of both the m/cs - also the gateway adrrs. 5) I swapped the network cards on both of them. 6) I upgraded the Kernel with new drivers so that P-III's in-built chips would be recognised. 7) Then I swapped the HDDs. >Just swap the hard disk in and out. >This also should work just fine I got some missing symlinks and little gibbersih in X. But that was re-established. I also upgraded my libcs et el. And little bit of tinkering here and there. And the rest was OK, as you suggested ! Thanks pal, for your kind guidance !! > Last two would be for dump lazy people. Well, you are the best judge... ;-) PS: By the way, why the repeated posts ? ~ Pat ( newlxuser ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
