Operating Systems AIX Clone 1 Hard disk fromIBM Intellipoint server with AIX 5.x

OK, now i got it: you were trying to clone a server. This is far easier done (and much more reliably so) by using the following information:

Investigate the mksysb command. It creates a backup image of a rootvg, but enriched by boot code and other information necessary to isntall a system from this image. You need a tape drive or disk space outisde of your rootvg to do it.

Result of the mksysb is a system image, basically a file. If it is written to some special devices (DVD, tape) it is bootable and you can use it on another system (doesn't even have to be identical, just sufficiently similar) to boot this and install it to a copy of the system from which you took it.

If you use any other device as a target (including a disk file) this will not be bootable by itself so you will need a boot media to boot the system and then you are able to still use the file as a source of installation arriving at the sasme result as above.

I hope this helps.

moosex::clone

MooseX::Clone(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					MooseX::Clone(3pm)

NAME

       MooseX::Clone - Fine grained cloning support for Moose objects.

SYNOPSIS

	   package Bar;
	   use Moose;

	   with qw(MooseX::Clone);

	   has foo => (
	       isa => "Foo",
	       traits => [qw(Clone)], # this attribute will be recursively cloned
	   );

	   package Foo;
	   use Moose;

	   # this API is used/provided by MooseX::Clone
	   sub clone {
	       my ( $self, %params ) = @_;

	       # ...
	   }

	   # used like this:

	   my $bar = Bar->new( foo => Foo->new );

	   my $copy = $bar->clone( foo => [ qw(Args for Foo::clone) ] );

DESCRIPTION

       Out of the box Moose only provides very barebones cloning support in order to maximize flexibility.

       This role provides a "clone" method that makes use of the low level cloning support already in Moose and adds selective deep cloning based
       on introspection on top of that. Attributes with the "Clone" trait will handle cloning of data within the object, typically delegating to
       the attribute value's own "clone" method.

TRAITS

       Clone
	   By default Moose objects are cloned like this:

	       bless { %$old }, ref $old;

	   By specifying the Clone trait for certain attributes custom behavior the value's own "clone" method will be invoked.

	   By extending this trait you can create custom cloning for certain attributes.

	   By creating "clone" methods for your objects (e.g. by composing MooseX::Compile) you can make them interact with this trait.

       NoClone
	   Specifies attributes that should be skipped entirely while cloning.

METHODS

       clone %params
	   Returns a clone of the object.

	   All attributes which do the MooseX::Clone::Meta::Attribute::Trait::Clone role will handle cloning of that attribute. All other fields
	   are plainly copied over, just like in "clone_object" in Class::MOP::Class.

	   Attributes whose "init_arg" is in %params and who do the "Clone" trait will get that argument passed to the "clone" method
	   (dereferenced). If the attribute does not self-clone then the param is used normally by "clone_object" in Class::MOP::Class, that is it
	   will simply shadow the previous value, and does not have to be an array or hash reference.

TODO

       Refactor to work in term of a metaclass trait so that "meta->clone_object" will still do the right thing.
