I'm trying upgrade the hard drive from a Sun Ultra 10 workstation to a bigger one, and I'm trying to make a image of the original drive so I don't have to install the OS and all applications again. I tried the dd command, however the new HD turns out to be "seen" by the OS as the same size as the original smaller one. I tried some other commands as ufsdump, but I was unsuccessful mostly because I didn't know how to configure some stuff like the /etc/vfstab, because I really dunno squat of Solaris. I'm gonna have to do this drive image on workstations with Solaris 5.7 and HP-UX. I'd really appeciate if I could get some help on how to do this, and it would be really nice if I could have some detailed instructions on how to proceed.

Thanks in advance,

Luciano
