Hello,
I am trying to create a backup machine for our alphaserver 4100
OS DEC Unix 4.0B
old machine alpha 4100
"new" alphaserver DS20e
filesystem advfs.
What is done:
backup to tape the root_domain usr_domain from 4100
sreated root_domain, usr_domain an DS20E, data restored.
what i'd like to get:
DEC Unix running,
what igot: (see below)
Resetting I/O buses...
(boot dkc0.0.0.8.0 -flags A)
block 0 of dkc0.0.0.8.0 is a valid boot block
reading 32 blocks from dkc0.0.0.8.0
bootstrap code read in
base = 200000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 4000(16384)
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 3ff42000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU

and so on...
does anybody knows what can i try to eliminate this problem?
Thanks a lot for your advices.
 
My Tru64 knowledge and skills are slowly 'rusting away' due to lack of use. But it looks like you have restored a working OS, kernel, drivers, etc for an AlphaServer 4100 onto a DS20E. I doubt they are compatible. Those two domains (root & usr) are very hardware dependant. You may have to do a fresh installation on the DS20E.

I hope that helps.

Mike
 
Hi Mike,
thank you for answer.
I think the same direction... Tight spot... 4100 is an database server (Oracle) -:(
nothing to do
Thanks again
