Migrating Operating System Software from T61 to another T61

Hi,
I currently own two T61s. I have setup the first one with the OS and all the software and taken a snapshot. I want to migrate/duplicate that on the other T61.
So i made a backup of it (using Thinkvantage backup and recovery) on to a external USB drive and tried to load it to the other and it just caused a lot of problems. I was not able to restore and it hosed the MBR too.
I wonder if there is a way that i can do something like this and restore the backup onto a different system.
Really apprecaite your help.
Thanks
nish.
PS: I think IBM would have not built a piece of software that would not allow such migrations. I do have legit license etc so i am not worried about that. I just don't want to spend a couple of days reconfiguring my OS + software the way i want on the new system. Thanks for all your help.

Hi,
yes you are correct. This is a TVT froum and not 3rd party forum.
For your situation I would advice following:
- once you fully setupped the whole base system, as you want to use it, open Rescue and Recovery application <hope it's the latest from our web>
- go to Advanced view <see left low corner of the screen>
- capture a full backup of the system to a USB HDD, or whatever place you want to keep the backup
- once you have done this, connect the USB HDD to the second system and boot up from this HDD
- go to Advanced mode and select Restore -> Full restore of your system using a backup
- the restore should finish and simply boot up to the OS
In case you want to migrate additionally some settings, please try to use System Migration Assistent, which is also a TVT applicaiton. In case you are interrested in this, please let me know.

  • I bought a used iMac and I want to format and re-install the operating system however it didn't come w/operating system software.

    I bought an iMac from a client and I'm concerned that the software that is on the system is not secure. I would like to remove everything and start with factory default programs and settings. The system is about 3-4 years old and there are no original operating system software discs.
    How to I re-format the hard drive, and do I need to purchase an operating system for it?
    Thanks.

    Your best bet is to call AppleCare and order a set of original OS X Install Discs, you will need a credit card and the serial number of the computer. If you don't know what version of OS X was on the system when it originally was purchased that is the best thing to do, otherwise you're shooting in the dark. The cost is going to be in the $30-40 range I believe.
    You didn't complete your profile so we have no idea where you are located or anything about your system. You can use the following link to locate AppleCare's phone number in your country.

  • Operating system calls from apex

    Question about operating system calls from apex.
    I created a java file which is wrapped with pl/sql like
    create or replace java source named "ExternalCall" as
    import java.io.*;
    I do the steps from this web page http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/tipps/oscalls/index.html
    The page is in german, but for experienced users the code on this page says everything.
    In apex i have an application which calls this function with the "move" command in a sql-report region.
    Let's say move c:\work1\file.txt c:\work2\file.txt
    Everything works fine on one host(pc) but if i want to transfer the file from my host to another one then
    i get the messgage "no access" although i have read, write access on the other host.
    By the way, on both hosts i have admin rights.
    Why can't i transfer the file over a network ?
    Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

    You say that "on both hosts i have admin rights".
    Remember that Oracle doesn't log in as "you", so Oracle may not have rights to the remote host.
    There are a lot of different permissions that can be assigned to java stored procedures. This chapter in the documentation might help:

    I guess you are working on a Windows host. In this case Oracle processes are running as Windows services with a build-in MS system account. This account has no access to network ressources. You have two ways to get out of your windows box:
    Assign Oracle services a network enabled account, e.g. domain user with local administrator privileges. (I never tried this and I don't like to recommend it.)
    Use a command script for copying files and use explicite authentication within this script:-
    net use \\myserver\ipc$ tiger /user:scott
    copy c:\temp\xxx1 \\myserver\share\temp
    copy c:\temp\xxx2 \\myserver\share\temp

    Are you using a webserver? If so, you could make your operating system script into a CGI program, then execute it from pl/sql using utl_http.request.

    same error;

    Process management at the OS level should prevent execution continuing in the calling code until the command has completed (either successfully or with error).
    If the low level java code were to spawn child process threads then execution could continue, but I'm guessing the Java function your talking about doesn't do that and just calls the operating system to execute the command and waits for the returning code to come back.

    We do not use JDeveloper but use external procedures/routines called from the database. Then you can call a database procedure to an operating system task.

  • Opening an operating system window from Forms

    An old feature from SQL*Forms was that you could open an Operating System Window by pressing a function key (or combination of keys)
    I think this is still available in Oracle Forms 10g, but I can't remember which function key to press.
    Can anyone help? I know that the function keys can vary across systems, so that I'm looking for is the default key (or keystrokes). I don't think it matters which versions of software are being used, but in case it does, the setup is:
    Oracle Forms: 10gR2
    Client PC: Windows XP
    Client Browser: Internet Expolorer 6
    Application Server: 10GR2 on Windows Server 2003
    Database Server: 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003
    The database has the ORAFORMS$OSC role granted to PUBLIC, and the "<OSC>" flag is showing in the Forms Console.
    Control-K gives a list of the function keys, but doesn't list anything for opening a DOS window:
    As far as I know, frmweb.res has not been altered, but it doesn't list an option for opening an OS window anyway.
    This is not about the HOST command.

    Hi michaeltowse,
    This is indeed something more complicated. Let me give you
    some details about the project:
    This project is to be initially created in Adobe Captivate.
    It consists of the main menu that is to be created in Flash (menu
    1); sub-menus, which are to be created in Captivate (menu 2); and
    menus of sub-menus, which are to be created in Captivate as well
    (menu 3). Now, the part where I need help on is the part that goes
    from sub-menus (menu 2) to menus of sub-menus (menu 3). When any
    option is to be selected from the sub-menu (menu 2), a new window
    is suppose to pop-up (menu 3) that is suppose to be in Flash. This
    new window is suppose to be a new Flash window and is not suppose
    to be opened in a browser, but it's suppose to be opened in another
    Flash window (SWF window). This whole entire project is to be
    executed via an embedded Flash executable. Thus all the .SWF files
    that were created in either Captivate or Flash are to be tied
    together via a Flash executable. I was told in Captivate's Forum
    that this may be done via ActionScript in Flash and I'm wondering
    whether that is that case. Please tell me if my project makes
    sense.
    Thank you.
