Migrate disk (external disk) from hp-ux 11.00 to hp-ux 11.31

hmm…I have experienced in migrated data in external disk in hp platform from server run hp-ux 11.00 to server run hp-ux 11.31. For data migration, I used repx (topio) replication (belongs to NetApp). Problem is came when mounting to new server (hp-ux 11.31) with error “disk image is incompatible with this system”. First, I tried to ask mr. goggle & hp forum, they told me to upgrade FS version to version supported by hp-ux 11.31. For hp-ux 11.11, supported FS version up to 4, hp-ux 11.23 supported from 4 to 6 and hp-ux 11.31 supported from 4 to 6/7. FS version in hp-ux 11.00 is 3, that can not be mount to 11.31. So, I have to upgrade FS version to 4 that supported in 11.31. To do this, I should mount new data to other server (run hp-ux 11.11). Command use for this is “vxupgrade” with option -n
# vxupgrade -n 4 mount_point
