Waseem, A worthwhile exercise would be to perform a Day0 install on the AW51E you want to restore to. This will setup the partitions and make it ready to be restored to. Find your Day0 cdrom eq. V62 or V64 Put it in the CD Drive STOP A > boot cdrom # root ia_install AW51E Regards, Scott -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gardner, Mark Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 7:06 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] AW51E backup restoration on mirrored HDD When booted from CDROM type the format command to see what hard disks are present. You will see the disks present with their controller, target and disk. It will look like: AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c1t0d0 There will be more information about the type and devices path information. You are concerned with the "c#t#d#". For Ultra-30 the first disk could be "c0t0d0" on Ultra-60 it will be "c1t0t0" if you dont see the disk for the appropriate workstation restore will not work. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of waseem ghani Sent: Thu 10/23/2008 6:23 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] AW51E backup restoration on mirrored HDD Thanks for the reply, here is our response pointwise. We have checked these aspects and here are our findings: 1. Mirrored HDD was kept OFF during the restoration 2. The Primary HDD was connected to the SCSI on the workstation 3. The added SCSI was on slot no.4 as stated in IA documentation 4. The running station is Foxboro Model: P69006100291 Style/ Rev: GA Enet Address: o:3:BA:03:2C:A7, Host ID 83032CA7 from which we took " BACKUP" and trying to restore it on Ultra Sparc 60 Creator 3D machine P/N 600-6474-01. Are these machine compatible with eachother for backup restoration? 5. How can we identify the SCSI Controller being used by the spare machine.
