Example 4 – Migrate a Raw Disk Slice - Lift and Shift Guide – Migrating Application Data From Older SPARC Systems to Newer SPARC Systems

Language:

This is an example that migrates data from an individual raw disk slice to an already prepared raw disk slice.

Ensure that shared storage is prepared.
See Prepare Shared Storage.
On the source system, use the dd command piped to a compression command to copy the data to shared storage.
The dd bs option is used to specify the block size in bytes. Using a large block size improves performance.

Note – For the appropriate path to the pigz command, see the Secondary Commands table in Data Migration Commands.
```
root@Source# dd if=/dev/rdsk/c2t600144F0E635D8C700005AC56B080015d0s0 bs=104857600 | pigz > /SharedStorage/slice-data.img.gz
```
On the target system, use a decompression command piped to the dd command to copy the data from shared storage to the target system.
Note – For the appropriate path to the pigz command, see the Secondary Commands table in Data Migration Commands.
```
root@Target# pigz -c /SharedStorage/asm1.img.gz | dd of=/dev/rdsk/c0d6s0 bs=104857600
```
