Copy a Disk using dd ....Solaris

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.       Make sure that the source disk and destination disk have the same disk geometry.

2.       Check the UFS file systems on the disk to be copied with the fsck utility.

3.       Make sure the system is in single-user mode when copying a disk with the dd command.

4.       Create the /reconfigure file so that the system will recognize the destination disk to be added when it reboots, if necessary.

5.       # touch /reconfigure

6.       # init 0

7.       Attach the destination disk to the system.

8.       ok boot -s

9.       Copy the source disk to the destination disk.

10.   # dd if=/dev/rdsk/device-name of=/dev/rdsk/device-name bs=block-size

11.   fsck /dev/rdsk/device-name

12.   # mount /dev/dsk/device-name /mnt

13.   Change to the directory where the /etc/vfstab file is located.

14.   # cd /mnt/etc

15.   Change the ctd no’s

16.   # umount /mnt

17.   # init 0

18.   # boot diskn –s

19.   # sys-unconfig

20.   # boot disk
