Cloning Solaris Disks
2007-12-24 22:01:00
I am looked through the archives, can find many options, but not sure which is
the best, so I turn to you.
I need to replicate a file system from one box to another. These are the only
two boxes that will be like this, and as such setting up a fresh jumpstart is
to much work.
I can not use flarcreate because my jumpstart server is 2.6, and the check
script for the rules does not allow the flash_install as an option in the rule
file. I guess this is a limitation with the 2.6 jumpstart. It is to much of a
pain to move the jumpstart server just for this
setup is as follows.
box1. 280r, 2x40 gig mirrored Sol_8 10/01
box2. 280r, 2x40 gig blank.
Both need boxes need to be the same, save the hostname, nodename, blah blah,
which I can change in two seconds.
I know I have options of ufsdump, ufsrestore, and even dd, however maybe I can
be a little more create and use the mirrored disks in a cloaning type way.
Swap them out rebuild the metadb's etc.
Can people coment on their preferred method please.
Many thanks, will Sum as per usual.
