Is there a way to duplicate the master database from one machine to another ? The machine I want to duplicate to is a brand new machine with a fresh copy Sybase installed. I dumped the master database (and its transaction log) from the old machine into 2 Unix files (one for the database and one for the trans. log), moved the files over to the new machine, bring down the dataserver daemon on the new machine into single-user mode (via the -m flag) and then tried to reload the master database from the Unix file. Then strange thing is that after the reload is done, I was immedately thrown out of isql and that the dataserver daemon die. And when I restart the dataserver again (in single-user mode, via -m), I got all kinds of server & kernel barfs. THe server barfs mainly complain about sysindexes for clustered index. And the kernel barfs said :- kernel: curcmd = 0, program = kernel: Bus error - current process infected kernel: pc: 0x147b48 ... more pc: lines ... ... kernel: end of stack trace, spid 1, kpid 4, suid 1 However, the dataserver daemon still runs depsite of these kernel barfs. Is this a bug of Sybase or I've done something wrong ? -- ========================================== + Eric Ho Email: eric@sbi.com + Salomon Brothers, Inc.
