HP-UX Cloning a system using make_net_recovery

01. Create the system recovery image of the system to be cloned using “make_net_recovery” command

02. The recovery configurations and archives created by make_net_recovery are stored in a separate directory on Ignite-UX server for each client. If the client to be installed does not currently have a directory in /var/opt/ignite/clients but is up and running, create the directory using “Add new Client for Recovery” from Actions menu on Ignite-UX GUI (From server). Alternatively, we can also run add_new_client -s <ignite-ux_server_name> from the client. If the client is not running, you will have to boot the system from the Ignite-UX server to get the directory created.
03. Copy the CINDEX and recovery directory from the source client to the target client directory. If the CINDEX file already exits, either create a backup copy of the CINDEX or edit the CINDEX file to add the desired entries from the source client.

 cd /var/opt/ignite/clients/src_client_name
 find CINDEX recovery | cpio -pdvma ../target_client_name

04. Give the target client NFS access to recovery image of the source system
05. From the Ignite GUI select
Actions + Boot client…
Actions + Install Client + New Install…
06. Change the system networking parameters for the client during installation
