<OT> Cloing HP Visualize Workstations (HP-UX 10.20)

[ian@linux-sxs.org]

Hi all,

long time since I've read or posted...been away from home most of the last 
month working a office rollout.

The customer who is driving the requirements for this office, has some pretty 
finicky and esoteric requirements to run the cadd software that they use.

We have a working configuration we need to roll out on several other machines 
and we're looking for a way to clone/duplicate this machine instead of the long 
and tedious job of configuring 10+ more machines manually.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be done reliably?

The hardware specs for anyone interested are:

- HP C3600 Workstations
- HP A1658-60031 HDisk (SCSI Ultra 160 LVD)

The thing I am stumped by is how to get both disks running in the same machine 
and bit-for-bit copy them.  From what I can tell, in order to have them both in 
the same system, they need to be initialized as different volumes (ie /dev/vg00 
and /dev/vg01) and I cannot find  out if the /dev/vg01 can be used at the main 
booting disk in a system after cloing, or if it *has to be* /dev/vg00.  I'm an 
IBM kinda guy, so anyone out there with any hints, I'd really appreciate them.


Thanks in advance...I hope.
