I have heard of people interchanging the 360Mhz and 450Mhz but there is no CSC supported method as far as I=20 know. Use: psrinfo -v (processor information) to see what you have.

Boot cdrom Login: root ia_install AW51E If the ia_install does not like your hard drive you can make it look like a=20 Supported hard drive using the format command while booted up on the CDROM. This is tedious and prone to mistakes and can take hours the perform. Best Regards, Scott L.

The clone crashes. Do I need exactly the same hard drive as the original machine in order to load a backup tape set to a clone? If so, does anyone have experience cloning systems with different hard drives? =20 Best Regards,=20 Ken Heywood=20 Process Control Services, Inc. =20 =20 -------------------------------------------------------- =20 This message (and any associated files) is intended only for the=20 use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may=20 contain information that is CONFIDENTIAL, subject to copyright or constitutes a trade secret.
