copying from one hot swap drive to another using dd

[H0pper]

The unix question that I have relates to copying from one hot swap drive to another on a compac proliant 850R server running SCOUNIX. I used the dd command to copy the contents of one drive to another. However after swapping the drives the computer wouldn't boot up onto the new drive. Having answered various questions on the screen to deal with the corruption and copied files from another server the missing files and the drive became usable. Is the dd command the correct command to use and should I expect a corruption free copy?

The full command used was:

dd if=/dev/rhd00 of=/dev/rhd10 bs=64k

Please can you shed some light??

Provided the two disk have the same geometry you must use the

/dev/rhd0a

and the

/dev/rhd1a

device files.
