801.0. "Can LSM be used to clone a system?" by AUSSIE::CARMODY () Mon Jun 02 1997 06:51
Hi,
I have ten systems to setup, each with LSM mirrored system disks. I was wondering if I could use LSM to 'clone' a
system.
The configuration is as follows:
Hardware: Alphaserver 1000A EV5/400MHz, BA356 storage shelf with 2 x RZ29B disks.
Software: DU 3.2g with ADVFS root and usr, LSM mirrored root,swap and usr.
Can I simply move a mirror to a different system and use volrecover to re-establish the mirror. I think it may be
not be that simple (LSM appears to store the hostname in the disk id - does this present a problem if you change
the hostname of a system?).
Any recommendations on a procedure to do this would be appreciated. If required to backup onto tape, what is the
best method to use?
Thanks in advance.

| While it might be possible for some configurations, there is no
supported procedure for this. You should do a normal install and
encapsulation with LSM.
