AIX cloning

The systems do not need to be the same. I am sure there are exceptions, but in most cases wiht aix 4.3.x and above, you can use a mksysb from one system and install it on any other you want.

1. You must boot from AIX CD that matches the OS of the mksysb.

2. Go into service mode and restore from backup.

The system will pull what files (drivers, etc) that are needed from the CD while it restores the mksysb.

To be safe, I wouldn't leave it plugged into the network while this is done. Your hostname and IP information may match some one else's and that's a bad thing.

Good luck, Greg

PLADV(3plplot)							    PLplot API							    PLADV(3plplot)

NAME
pladv - Advance the (sub-)page SYNOPSIS
pladv(sub) DESCRIPTION
Advances to the next subpage if sub=0, performing a page advance if there are no remaining subpages on the current page. If subpages aren't being used, pladv(3plplot)(0) will always advance the page. If sub>0, PLplot switches to the specified subpage. Note that this allows you to overwrite a plot on the specified subpage; if this is not what you intended, use pleop(3plplot) followed by plbop(3plplot) to first advance the page. This routine is called automatically (with sub=0) by plenv(3plplot), but if plenv(3plplot) is not used, pladv(3plplot) must be called after initializing PLplot but before defining the viewport. Redacted form: pladv(sub) This function is used in examples 1,2,4,6-12,14-18,20,21,23-27,29,31. ARGUMENTS
sub (PLINT, input) Specifies the subpage number (starting from 1 in the top left corner and increasing along the rows) to which to advance. Set to zero to advance to the next subpage. AUTHORS
Geoffrey Furnish and Maurice LeBrun wrote and maintain PLplot. This man page was automatically generated from the DocBook source of the PLplot documentation, maintained by Alan W. Irwin and Rafael Laboissiere. SEE ALSO
