Data Transfer from HP 9000
[284 byte] By [palsun] at [2007-11-26 9:44:24] 
I am having an old HP 9000 Server with 8/24GB DAT drive and want to transfer all the data amounting to 200GB to the newly installed V480 Server with 40/80GB DAT drive. Can somebody suggest the best possible way of doing it, since the DATs are incompatible across the platforms?

Well, he said the DATs are incompatible. Even the wonders of cpio might not copy a DAT between two OSes. DAT kind of sucks that way. You're lucky to be able to read a tape on the same drive you wrote it on :-!
So, duh, you will have to copy the files back to the host and across a network.
Hopefully your HP9000 has TCPIP!

Yea, I was a little cryptic in just saying cpio....what I meant to say was cpio the data from host A over the network to host B....Isnt everyone a mind reader?:)mikep_vt90 at 2007-7-7 0:46:13 >

HiIs there a way you can export out the volumes and do a NFS mount on the client do a cp -p, this might take a while but still effective. We have done this in our environment, the backup & restore might take more time.RgdsHGNGopih at 2007-7-7 0:46:13 >
