Anyone got a how-to for server migration we have an 880 used for dev and a 280 used for live. For obvious reasons I wish to switch them and was thinking of swapping the disks over. Any ideas would be welcome.

You could, but be sure to do the following:

1. Check if both disks are fiber. I know 880, but not sure about 280.

2. If you could swap disks, you'll have to boot from cdrom and copy all the "/dev/dsk", "/dev/rdsk", "/devices", "/etc/path_to_inst", and "/etc/devlinks.tab" from the cdrom into the new disk.

3. to copy use tar:

tar -cvf - *|(cd <newdir>;tar -xvf -)
