Planning to Configure into your System a Disk Already Containing
Data
mount system directories and structural files. System directories include
/usr, /dev, /etc, /system, /bin, and /lib. Structural files include files
such as /etc/checklist and dfile. Never attempt to use 9. x device
special files on a 10. x system. They will fail. Delete or rename any
system files and directories you find.
Step 2. Examine user scripts for occurrences of 9. x -specific path names and
commands that are invalid or obsolete for 10.0. Do this before mounting
the 9. x disk.
HP has some tools on 10.0 to help identify and correct changed or
unsupported path names. These tools are shipped in the following
filesets:
• Upgrade.UPG-ANALYSIS
• Upgrade.UPG-MAN
On a 10.0 system, the tools are installed in the /opt/upgrade/bin
directory. The manpages are installed in /opt/upgrade/share/man. If
you have obtained the filesets to be loaded onto an 9. x system, the
filesets will be installed into /upgrade/bin and /usr/man.
Consult the manual, Moving HP-UX 9.x Code and Scripts to 10.x: Using
the Analysis and Conversion Tools and the upgrade manpages for further
guidance on preparing 9. x files for HP-UX 10.0.
Understanding How to Configure a Disk Already
Containing Data
Accessing 9. x data might require that you configure one of the following
9. x disk types to HP-UX 10.0:
• Series 700 disks using Software Disk Striping (SDS). SDS is not
supported on HP-UX 10.0. The safest way to import 9. x data from an
SDS disk is as follows:
Step 1. Isolate the specific files of data.
Step 2. Examine the files for presence of system and structural files (as
documented in the previous section) and remove any invalid references.
Step 3. Copy the information onto a 10.0-configured disk.
• Series 700 whole disks.
