 Re: ip350 -Backing up the whole disk (image)
Let me try to list the steps for those that are more apprehensive about experimenting:
1. use ghost or dd to image an existing functional Nokia IPSO disk to a blank disk that is smaller than 20GB.
2. Install the new disk in your Nokia.
3. Turn on power and it should boot.
If you are a little more savvy, you can try the following:
1. Image the boot partition (the really small one) from a working Nokia drive to a blank new drive
2. Install the new drive in a Nokia box and power it on
3. At the prompt type install, give it an IP and use FTP to download the ipso.tgz file (the proper IPSO version image file that you get from nokia.com) from your local file server on which you have configured an FTP server.
4. Follow the prompts to enter its serial number etc.
5. You now have a virgin IPSO install that should boot up and wait to be configured like when you buy one new or delete the /config/active file.
You want to do this when you have a bit of time and are preparing disaster recovery kind of stuff. Don't wait until you think a production machine disk is in trouble.  |
