Hello,

I want to exchange the root drive of my Solaris 2.4 server with a larger
drive so that I can upgrade to Solaris 2.6.  I called SUN and they told me
about their UFSBACKUP/UFSRESTORE program which backs up the boot
information.  You need to backup the boot information, install the new
drive, and boot from the CD.  I would need to restore the boot information
at this point.  Hmm.  How do I get access to the ADSM server to get the
boot information if I do not have a root drive and booted from the OS from
the CD? Do I need a floppy with the software on it?  I am not sure I would
have network access at that point.  Well, my question is whether ADSM has
the ability to get me through a boot drive transfer for me?  What steps
would I take before doing this task, and how would I do the restore using
ADSM?

David
