Hello everyone!
I would like to clone an AIX 5.3 system (p510) to a target
systemB, which is physc. identical to the source systemA (of
course except e.g. serial number) using alt_disk_copy-disks.
After alt_disk_copy -d "hdisk3 hdisk4"
the source systemA looks like this:
hdisk0 rootvg active
hdisk1 rootvg active
hdisk3 altinst_rootvg active
hdisk4 altinst_rootvg active
My questions are:
- How can I use hdisk3 & hdisk4 as active rootvg on the
target systemB?
- Does the following procedure look right:
Source systemA (AIX 5.3, hdisk0(A) hdisk1(A) mirrored, hdisk3 hdisk4)
1. unmount all mount points (/dev/alt_hd4, /dev/alt_hd1,
/dev/alt_hd10opt, /dev/alt_hd3, /dev/alt_hd2,
/dev/alt_hd9var, /dev/alt_fwdump
2. varyoffvg altinst_rootvg(deactivate vg)
3. exportvg altinst_rootvg (exports vg's definition from a
set of pv)
4. rmdev -dl hdisk3 & hdisk4
-> disconnect the disk, move over to target systemB
Target systemB (AIX 5.3, hdisk0(B) hdisk1(B) mirrored)
1. plug in the 2 disks & cfgmgr (assuming hdisk3 & hdisk4)
2. importvg -y altinst_rootvg hdisk3 hdisk4
3. mount all the mountpoints (look at point 1. on source
systemA)
4. bootlist -m normal hdisk3 hdisk0
5. reboot
- Could anyone correct that and or add steps I forgot?
Thanks in advance.
