Disk Copy Utility — To make an image of a disk after install or upgrade (HP-UX 10.x to 11.x)
Operating Environment
Operating Environment
COPYUTIL
operates under
ODE
and thus it only operates in an offline environment. When
COPYUTIL
is executed,
ODE
handles all the I/O with the user and it handles several higher
level commands like
LOG, HELP
, and so forth.
COPYUTIL
is a TM running under
ODE
. This means
COPYUTIL
must first satisfy all of
ODE
's requirements. Since
COPYUTIL
is not a diagnostic all the hardware except the disk
drive must be working properly, and the disk drive can only have software read errors that
will not cause the system to halt.
NOTE
An online version of
COPYUTIL
, running under STM, is also available.
Though
COPYUTIL
is not a diagnostic, all Read errors are isolated down to the block
address.
