Replacing a failing HD

[Bob Ababurko]

Yes, I guess I should mention that the drives were on the same machine, 
actually the same bus and/or channel.  I have also done this on Solaris. 
  I believe it was Solaris 8, but it works just the same.  I am not sure 
if it would work over a network.  Just make sure you dd the disk as a 
whole as in /dev/daX and not by the slice.
