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.
