Suppose I have a production server with a /dev/sda disk and I mount a

server) I want to use when the production server fails.

After doing "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=10k"...do I have to do
something on /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst from the second drive
when this second disk is on the backup server ?? Or nothing else to do
in the second disk is OK to start the backup server ???

nothing else to do, as long as the second disk is used as sda in the
backup server, or to replace the failed original sda on the production
server.
