Hello Michael,
There was such a discussion here. In his message from 19.05.2003
Ramneek Sethi said:
in case drives are not same even then u can try following
boot the system in single user mode
create the same filesystem on the other disk and in case hardisk sizes are
different then create partition which is sufficient to hold the current data in
filesystem
once the partitions are created, make new filesystem in the new slices
mount the new filesystems in a new mount point say /new
now if u want to replicate /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 to /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0
mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /new
ufsdump 0f - /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 | (cd /new;ufsrestore xf -)
this will copy the data from one disk to another and now to make the filesystem
bootable
cd /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/fs/ufs
installboot ./bootblk /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0
this will make the c0t1d0s0 bootable and u can put the new disk in new machine with os
and all applications installed
Sometimes is good idea to dig the archives _before_ asking ;-)
Take care,
Peter
