Greetings, Thanks for all the responses on moving from a SB150 to a SB2000. My original question was: Can you swap a hard drive from a Sun Blade 150 (SPARC IIi) and put it into a Sun Blade 2000 (SPARC III)? The answer is NO. The SB150 uses IDE disks, and the 2000 uses FC-AL disks, so they are incompatible. I did get a few suggestions on the best way to migrate, though: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ However, the is an easy was to migrate. Ensure you have SUNWsan packages installed. Patch the SB150 to the hilt. Create a FLAR of you SB150 to a disk that is separate from the actual system (NFS mounted are on another system) Ensure you get at least the OS. Now setup the new SB1000/SB2000 by booting from CD/DVD When the systen asks from whay you wish to load, state FLAR From here on, spec the partitioning etc. Now start load Have coffee/tea/soda 1 1 hr later, check & test - you should be done. That's it. Proceed to next system to migrate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And another suggestion about jumpstarting: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are significant differences between the two systems and it's likely that there will be too much missing from your UltraIIbased install to suport the UltraIII. How about building a jumpstart server on your 150 to load the new stuff? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll be trying the FLAR so we'll see how that goes. Thanks to Joe Fletcher, Scott Spencer, Matthew Stier, Casper Dik, Ian McGinley, David Markowitz and dersmythe@fastmail.fm.
