Archived one RAID to Another

· Solaris & Sun · Files & disks

We archived the contents of one RAID to another. It takes awhile but it works.

Here’s what we did in single user mode.

#mount /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s0 /DATA1
#mount /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s0 /DATA2

#cd /DATA1; tar cvfp - . | (cd /DATA2; tar xvfp -)

mount – utility used to mount the UFS block devices to /DATA1 and /DATA2 directories
UFS – UNIX File System
cd – change directory utility
tar – tape archive utility
