DESCRIPTION
The command provides a command line interface to Dynamic Root Disk
(DRD) tools. Messages are displayed to standard error. The command has
nine major modes of operation:
Sets the inactive system image to be the primary boot disk the
next time the system is booted.
Clones a booted system to an inactive system image.
The drd clone mode copies the LVM volume group or VxVM
disk group containing the volume on which the root file
system ("/") is mounted.
Sets the active system image (i.e. the booted image) to be the
primary boot disk the next time the system is booted.
Mounts all file systems in an inactive system image.
The mount point of the root file system is either
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_000 or
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001. If the inactive system
image was created by the most recent drd clone command,
the mount point of the root file system is
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001. If the inactive system
image was the booted system when the most recent drd
clone command was run, the mount point of the root file
system is /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_000.
Unmounts all file systems in the inactive system image previ‐
ously mounted by a drd mount command.
Copies the system information file, containing hostname, IP
address, and other system-specific information, to EFI/HPUX/SYS‐
INFO.TXT on the disk to be rehosted.
Runs a command on an inactive system image. Only a select group
of commands may be run by the runcmd mode.
These are commands which have been verified to have no
affect on the booted system when executed by drd runcmd.
Such commands are referred to as DRD-Safe. The commands
kctune, swinstall, swjob, swlist, swmodify, swm job list,
swm job log, swm job status, swremove, swverify, view,
and update-ux are currently certified DRD-Safe. An
attempt to execute any other command will result in a
runcmd error. In addition, not every software package
may safely be processed by sw* commands. The DRD-Safe
SW-DIST commands and update-ux are aware of running in a
DRD session and will reject any DRD-unsafe packages. For
more information about DRD-Safe packages, see drd-
runcmd(1M).
Displays status information for an existing inactive system
image.
Removes the system information file, EFI/HPUX/SYSINFO.TXT from a
disk that was rehosted, optionally preserving a copy in a file
system on the booted system.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Displays the usage message.
Decreases the verbosity level by one each time it is specified.
For example,
will reduce the verbosity from the default value of 4 to
2. If both and are included on the command line, the
effective verbosity is 2. The minimum verbosity level is
0. (See also the option).
Increases the verbosity level by one each time it is specified.
For example,
will increase the effective verbosity from the default
value of 4 to 5. If both and are included on the command
line, the effective verbosity is 3. The maximum verbosity
level is 5. (See also the option).
Displays the list of possible
(extended) options.
Sets the extended option to a value. See Extended -x Options
definitions below.
Gets the extended options from a file.
Return Values
major modes return the following values:
Success.
Error.
Warning.
