Only possiblity is if you are using VxVM on both HPUX and Solaris, and you have apropriate license for such actions (endian conversion if needed and such).

Other then that, i do not know any other way and i have never tried stated above.

Please post what precise Operating System and version you are running on both computers.

Please post the exact mount details of the ex-Solaris filesystem from when it was on the Solaris box, the size of the filesystem and the number of files.

The chances are that this task is impossible by direct means.

" Previously mounted" suggests that the Solaris box does not exist any more and therefore cannot be configured to do a backup to a mutually-acceptable common format on an external medium.

There is nowhere near enoiugh information in your post to make a judgement.
