I wrote a perl script to do a similar thing, i.e. cloning a drive and its slices to a new drive, but on Netra T1s/Solaris 7/FW4.1SP2. It does it using ufsdump/ufsrestore rather than dd, so the drives can be different geometries. The steps it takes are basically: - create partition table on clone drive (you can do this with fmthard -s datafile /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s2) as long as you have created a datafile that details the partition layout. - newfs and fsck each slice on the clone disk - mount each slice on the clone disk under something like "/clone/slicename" - ufsdump each slice on the master disk, and ufsrestore them to the /clone/slice mounts. - run installboot on the clone disk to make it bootable. - remove clone disk, put in new machine, boot. There should be no reason why you can't do this on a 220R. -- Michael Pye ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
