Our company purchased a spare HP ML350 server - identical to current one in use to act as minimal downtime replacement should the inevitable happen.
After install of OS 5.0.7 and restore of cpiobackup I get this message:
-: Syntax error: Hostname= $inexpected
The SCO licence policy manager daemon (sco_pmd)..........
This is usually due to a read only root filesystem, lack of a system licence or a damaged program image file (/etc/sco_pmd) If this is not the ase, please contact your SCO service provider for help.
Depending on the reason for the failure, the system may shutdown without warning in one hour. Please boot to single user and correct the problem.
As it has been some time since I've done bup and restore, I had to rely on the notes written 15 years ago. I'm not sure its the cpio restore or re-valuating the SCO licence. The server boxes are identical except the live one has a 8 port serial card.
fyi -
Automated backup command is:
cd /
find . -depth -print | cpio -ocvB -O /dev/rct0
My restore command is:
cd /
cpio -icvdumB /dev/rct0
Any ideas?
