Am in requirement to clone a Live HP-UX server here's details
OS: HpUX B-11.11 with mirrored LVM disks .
S/ws: Remedy, XML engine, Annoysystem, Oracle
All Oracle, XMl and Remedy data is on SAM LUN which is used for clustering .
My requirement to create a clone server and replace SAN to local disk on new server.
I have 3 options to achieve this ..
1> DRD : NO as my OS and H/w is not supporting this DRD cloning is only available in HPUX 11.23 or 11.31 .
2> Ignite Backup : I require to create exact clone with all s/w configuration resides on OS partition(LV)s . But with Ignite I can create a OS clone it will exclude other configuration of s/w who's all files are distributed over SAN LUNS .
- So I can't go with this.
3> LVM mirroring: Have mirrored the VG, but when I connected that to another server it wont restarted got error as not find boot info ...
Here's the steps that had used
# NOW HAVE REMOVED THIS c2t0d0 and inserted on new server on active boot slot . But no Luck ..
Any HP-UX guru .. Sir please advice me where am wrong ..
4> Clone the entire disk using dd It's working fine ... But according to HP- this is not recommended way .. by HP ... So my PM doesn't allow me to go with this way ... as this require a more background downtime for my platform also ... if something happen in tune time ..
Am preferring to go with WAY-3 (DISK MIRRORING) ... Please help ...
Thanks,
