Considerations for
ordering
replacement
drives
The only thing to consider when ordering a replacement disk drive is
drive capacity.
The spare drive is supplied properly formatted, but without HP-UX
software.
If the primary drive is the one being replaced, the appropriate recovery
procedure must be used to boot from “HP-UX Install” DAT tape on an
alternate boot source such as a DAT drive connected locally or remote
DAT drive accessible over the network. Upon successful boot, a
complete software restore must be performed from a previously customer
generated DAT drive “Backup Tape” (or other available source). This
will restore the coprocessor file system to reflect conditions that existed
when the “Backup Tape” was generated.
If the second (optional drive) is being replaced, the coprocessor will boot
successfully from the primary drive. The new replaced second drive can
be put under system control using the “mount” command without any
preparation steps. A software restore must be performed from a
previously customer generated DAT drive “Backup Tape” (or other
available source). This will restore the coprocessor file system to reflect
conditions that existed when the “Backup Tape” was generated.
The parts list in the last section of this manual provides the drive part
numbers.
Procedures for booting from a DAT drive to recover from a failed
primary hard drive are provided in the A

M System Administration
manual. Procedures for creating “Backup tapes” and software restore
operations are provided in the same manual.

Appropriate care must be exercised when a replacement disk drive does
not come directly from Honeywell spare parts (from hot spares or
training system).
If the primary drive is replaced with a drive containing files from another
system, it may have to have the proper files resident to allow a software
boot operation; (i.e., it was the primary drive in the previous system).
The coprocessor will boot from this replacement device and assume the
exact configuration that existed on the previous system. After making the
appropriate configuration changes to access the PIN network, a complete
software restore from customer generated DAT drive “Backup Tape” (or
other available source) is required to get the coprocessor file structure to
reflect conditions existing prior to drive replacement.
