Re: UFSBACKUP/UFSRESTORE - Solaris 2.4

The easiest way to that I think is not to use ADSM but a local tape
drive
backup each filesystem with ufsdump 0fu /dev/rmt/0n /dev/cxtxdxsx
(name of disc slice)
replace the disk
boot from CD
define new partitions with the "format" program
restore each filesystem with "ufsrestore" program
run "installboot" to copy the boot blocks to the new disk
reboot the new installed disk
Hope this helps

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?
