For 10.0:

  • Support all new hardware that was supported as of 10.0.

  • Support the 10.0 file system layout, I/O convergence, and the new LVM features.

  • Support both Series 700 and 800.

  • Distributed as "Support Media" on both platforms.

The "Support Media" replace the Support Tape of earlier releases. ("Media" is HP shorthand for a tape or disk, or set of either.) The 10.x Support Media consist of a tape, disk, or in some cases kit, containing the following:

  • Offline Diagnostics

  • Recovery Kernel

  • Online Diagnostics

  • RCL Tools (Predictive)

The Offline Diagnostics and Recovery Kernel are in the form of a LIF volume intended to be run from the tape or CD-ROM in the same way as the 9.x Support Tape. The Online Diagnostics and RCL Tools are in one Software Distributor (SD) bundle; use SD to load them onto your system.

Recovery

The Offline Diagnostics include a utility, copyutil, that allows you to create a "failsafe" image of your root disk for the purposes of crash recovery.

CAUTION: copyutil is the only way to create a recovery system on 10.x. The 9.x Series 700 utility mkrs is no longer supported.

For instructions on making a recovery system, and recovering your system after a crash, see the Support Media User's Manual (part number 92453-90010), which is included in the Support Media kit.
