I am trying to figure out the best way to image a SunOS Server with 5 HDD's. We are attempting to image it live. I am not sure if anyone has any ideas on how to do this. We tried with Helix and we are having issues with the live acquistion. We have the EEPROM password and the root password. But everytime we try and do it we get Bad Magic Number Label…I am not sure on what that means. Thank you to everyone in advance.

Greetings,
F-Response should do it.
netcat + dd would work.
dd and a locally attached external drive.
(These are all live options….)

I am trying to figure out the best way to image a SunOS Server with 5 HDD's.
What hardware architecture? SunOS in general covers just about anything Sun ever did, from Motorola 68k, to SPARC, PowerPC and X86.
We tried with Helix and we are having issues with the live acquistion. … But everytime we try and do it we get Bad Magic Number Label…I am not sure on what that means.
What version of Helix? And everytime you try what? What application or executable are you trying to run and how?
Helix3 Pro, according to its documentation, as a live environment covers MaxOS X, Windows and Linux. No mention of SunOS/Solaris there.
Or are you using some other version of the product?
My first guess is that you may be trying to run binaries for one operating system on another. That rarely works.
If Im guessing right, you either need to get suitable binaries somehow, or make shift with what Unixes in general provide, namely dd and such.
