I thought I would start a new thread. Is there anyone that is proficient with AIX on the board? I am trying to back up the primary hdisk0 drive on the ANS 500 to the external SCSI port. I am at the point where it see's the external as a physical volume and it has it assigned it hdisk1. So it is there and see's it. I had installed a fresh version of AIX 4.1.4 on the external drive. What I want to do is backup and copy the entire hdisk0 primary drive to hdisk1... I've tried various ways to do this and cannot figure it out. I am familiar with Unix commands but I have never done this or worked with AIX. I was originally just trying to back it up to tape before I start messing with it but the DAT drive, well let's just say that's not happening.. So I have booted with the AIX cd and tried that way but I don't know the commands.. and I have tried SMIT while booted with the hdisk0 and it is seen as a physical disk and logical disk... I just can't perform this task.. So if anyone out there has a clue on how to do this that would be awesome! Most grateful for any helpers...
