Operating Systems Solaris Newly relabelled disc unable to initialize to Solaris 8 login - please help Post 302877657 by MadeInGermany on Monday 2nd of December 2013 07:31:22 PM

Clone on a Solaris Sparc system!
Provided c0t0d0 is the original disk and c0t1d0 is the clone disk:
Code:
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
dd bs=1024k if=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 of=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2

The prtvtoc transfers the Sparc disk label.
The dd transfers the disk data (this can perhaps be done on a Windows system as well).

NAME
prtvtoc - report information about a disk geometry and partitioning SYNOPSIS
prtvtoc [-fhs] [-t vfstab] [-m mnttab] device DESCRIPTION
The prtvtoc command allows the contents of the label to be viewed. The command can be used only by the super-user. The device name can be the file name of a raw device in the form of /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s2 or can be the file name of a block device in the form of /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s2. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Report on the disk free space, including the starting block address of the free space, number of blocks, and unused parti- tions. -h Omit the headers from the normal output. -m mnttab Use mnttab as the list of mounted filesystems, in place of /etc/mnttab. -s Omit all headers but the column header from the normal output. -t vfstab Use vfstab as the list of filesystem defaults, in place of /etc/vfstab.
