HP10.20 Cloning

Good day all.

So, here's the situation. I have (7x) B180L VISUALIZE WORKSTATION's with Transtec 5100 RAID (RAID 5, 9.1 GB HDD's) towers running of UNIX HP10.20. It's time to replace the RAID's with new ones, them being Fibrenetix FX606 5 bay SATA RAID, 5 bay SATA-SCSI desktop RAID including 80Gb drives.

Clearly different capacities, but it would make me extremely happy if I could just clone the one to the other, rather then re-installing 7 machines with all the different applications. Also, these machines are used for archiving historical data, so none of the 7 machine are the same exept for the OS (HP Unix 10.20 and the application).

If possible, could you please guide me in the right direction? With the different sizes, would dd work?

Kind Regards
Tony

NAME

       lsimega - SCSI HBA driver for LSI MegaRAID 320-2x SCSI  RAID Controller

       The lsimega SCSI RAID  host bus adapter driver is a SCSA-compliant nexus driver that supports LSI MegaRAID 320-2x SCSI RAID devices.

       The  lsimega  driver supports  standard	functions provided by the SCSA interface, including RAID disk I/O  and	passthrough I/O to support
       SCSI tape and CDROM.

DRIVER CONFIGURATION

       The lsimega.conf file contains no user configurable parameters. Please configure your hardware through BIOS.

       The LSI MegaRAID 320-2x device can support up to 40 logic drivers. Note that BIOS numbers the logic drives as  1  through  40,  however	in
       Solaris these drives are numbered from 0 to 39.
