At the end, I uncompressed all of them and concatenate as : C:\copy /b opt8.disk-pt1+opt8.disk-pt2+opt8.disk-pt3+..... opt8.disk Then I imported this 'opt8.disk' to my qemu-system-sparc running solaris26 with the '-hdc opt8.disk' option . On my qemu solaris26, the format command shows three disks attached and the 'df -k' command shows the /opt is being mounted on /c0t2d0s3 (new imported slice) . Do you think my procedure for creating the image from the solaris8 machine /opt is wrong that it did not lead to a slice with valid data on it ? Can you please show me the correct procedure ?

Can you please show me the correct procedure ? There is no correct procedure, because nobody has ever done what you're trying to do. People are guessing based on theory. I can't think of a blatant reason why it wouldn't work, but I'd need to try it myself to be sure. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but your utter lack of Solaris skills combined with the absolutely insane procedure you're attempting means you're very, very unlikely to succeed. You've spent how many months trying to do this? And for some reason this is better than simply obtaining another Sun SPARC machine? -- Brandon Hume - hume -> BOFH.Ca, http://WWW.BOFH.Ca/

On my working solaris8 machine : #ufsdump 0f /usr01/opt8.disk /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 I imported this as virtual disk three on my qemu with '-hdc opt8.disk' option and its format command shows /c0t2d0 added as third disk. To restore : #ufsrestore -xvf /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s3 But it is returning as 'volume is not in dump format' . Can you please let me know what is wrong here?

ok , I understand. Please let me know why my ufsrestore does not work here ? |
