>>I have 2 IBM RS/6000 F50 servers, can I create a mksysb tape from one F50 server and restore it on another F50 server, will this installation work?

>Yes, this will typically work fine.

>However, if the target system have any hardware not on the source system you will not get the device support for it. There are two ways to resolve this:
>
>1. Install the device support on the source server before making the mksysb. If you are unsure what you need you can install all devices.* filesets (you will have a lot of unnecessary device support but you will be able to rebuild it on any RS/6000
>2. Install the AIX product CD in the CD drive and boot from mksysb tape from rmtx device on the target system. As needed, the procedure will pull device support from the CD.
>
>Good luck!
