If you are planning
to cold-install HP-UX 11i v2 on a system that already has HP-UX installed,
be sure to save the files that you will want to re-install.
These include a number of configuration files in /etc,
the contents of /usr/local, any local home
directories (that is, those you do not import from another system),
and any configuration files located in the /etc/opt directories
for installed software.
If multiple users are preparing for the cold-install, you
might consider creating a directory (such as /backup)
on another system. Do not create this directory on your
root disk. Mount it with sam. Then create a subdirectory for each system or user (for
example, /backup/your_sys).
As root, copy the files. For example:
Copy all config files from /etc on
a system named system1 to system system2.
On system2, enter:
mkdir /backup/system1/etc
rcp -p your_name@system1:/etc/* /backup/system1/etc/.
Copy your local home directory
to the backup system:
mkdir /backup/system1/home
rcp -pr your_name@system1:/home/ /backup/system1/home/
Printable version
