I wrote a perl script to do a similar thing, i.e. cloning a drive and
its slices to a new drive, but on Netra T1s/Solaris 7/FW4.1SP2. It
does it using ufsdump/ufsrestore rather than dd, so the drives can be
different geometries.
The steps it takes are basically:
- create partition table on clone drive
(you can do this with fmthard -s datafile /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s2) as long
as you have created a datafile that details the partition layout.
- newfs and fsck each slice on the clone disk
- mount each slice on the clone disk under something like
"/clone/slicename"
- ufsdump each slice on the master disk, and ufsrestore them to the
/clone/slice mounts.
- run installboot on the clone disk to make it bootable.
- remove clone disk, put in new machine, boot.
There should be no reason why you can't do this on a 220R.
