Ufsdump and migration
Hi all,
I have a Solaris 10 running on a M4000.
I wanted to migrate it to M10
q1) can I do a ufsdump on / in the m4000 and restore it on the m10 ?
q2) how do we ufsrestore on the naked M10 without any OS being install/running in the 1st place ?
q3) if the answer to the above is no , what is the easiest way to do a server migration (reinstall ?)
Regards,
Noob
