How to copy the partition contents from smaller disk to larger disk?

Dear all , I have formatted/labeled/partitioned a new larger size secondary disk on my solaris. Then i tried to copy the contents as tne following: #dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s-i of=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s-i where i=0,1,...,7 At the end, the secondary disk was an exact replica and a bootable one but surprisingly i saw that it is as the same partition size as the primary disk, but it was of biggernsize at the start. So i have firmatted/labeled/partitioned it again. Can you please let me know how can i accomplish this procedure but without modifying the target partition sizes? Thank you

Fueling your car with natural gas from home

Dear Everyone, as you know the price of the Oil is more and more increasing, while the oil supply is decreasing. Moreover Oil is causing wars, terror, oil spills, a lot of greenhouse gases. Do you know that there is plenty of natural gas ? The supply will last for many decades, probably for hundred years. A lot of methane (natural gas) is found as shale gas, a lot more will come from methane hidrates. Natural gas is causing much less greenhouse gases and since it is found locally, it will not cause any wars or terror. It will create jobs in your own country and not in the middle east

moving mirrored zpool from old server to new

I have a Sol10 (10/09) server which needs to be replaced due to gradually failing hardware. All the important data is in a two-whole- disk mirrored zpool which is separate from the boot volume. I've brought up a new machine running the same 10/09 release and am ready to begin the migration. The problem is that there are a lot of services provided by the old machine and a number of client machines are hardwired to speak to it, so I'd like to make the migration gradually. The other problem is that I'm pretty much of a ZFS novice. Here's what I'm thinking of doing: temporarily add a new

Clustering two systems for zone failover

We have a system where the root drive is mirrored using SVM. On this system SAN disks are part of zpools which contain the non global zone root path. We would like to cluster this system with another system so that the zones can failover. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Energy Saving Tips

1. Reduce heater's room temperature For each extra degree (Celsius) of temperature, your heater will consume 7 to 11% more energy. Adjust it to 18degrees which is also better for your health. 2. Install a programmable thermostat You will be able to control the heater's temperature during specific hours every day. 3. Insulate your house Loss of heat is loss of energy. 4. Fix air leaks 5. Close the chimney of the fireplace when you don't use it It is designed to drive smoke (hot air) out of the house! 6. Get an energy audit to advice you about the necessary fixes and insulation 7.

I/O error?

Dear All I tried to make an raw image from the solaris8 working machine /opt folder to be imported to my qemu-system-sparc running solaris26 by : #dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 of=/usr01/opt8.disk Then I converted this raw image to qcow format by : C:\qemu-img.exe convert -O qcow opt8.disk opt8.qcow At now, It is imported to qemu as its second virtual disk. But when I try to list its contents it is returning 'I/O error' for some of the folders inside it. Do you think there is some error in that 'dd' procedure?
