The simplist way would be to use Ignite-UX - make_tape_recovery or
make_net_recovery. Ignite is freely available from software.hp.com.
make_tape_recovery is the most straight-forward to use. There's good
documentation online at docs.hp.com.

You would create a bootable recovery image, and then install it back
onto the system - specifying a different disk than the original boot
disk.

It's always a good idea to have bootable recovery archives available
for system recovery.

Hello,

you could simply mirror your root disk. This will prevent a crash in case of hardware failure. It will not protect against accidently deleteing files etc.
E.g pvcreate -fB /dev/c0t1d0, mkboot /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0, vgextend vg00 /dev/dsk/c0d1d0, mkboot -a "hpux -lq" /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0 (and c0d0d0), lvextend -m 1 /dev/vg00/lvol1 etc. up to lvol8, lvlnboot -R, vi /stand/bootconf.

Even simpler is a dd of your whole disk to another identical disk (if your root volume group is NOT mirrored). dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0 bs=1024 (for example). In case of a failure you would just physically swap your root disks.


Yours, Hans Martin.

Sorry, not what you want. But for 11i V2 & V3 you can use DRD...
