Administrator's Guide

TIP: HP recommends that a clone be deployed shortly after creating and (optionally) modifying
it.
Example 4-3 Checking a warning message
You verify software on the inactive system image with drd runcmd swverify and see a warning
message.
Task: Find additional information about the message.
To see detailed information about the warning message supplied by the swagent log, execute
the following command:
# /opt/drd/bin/drd runcmd view /var/adm/sw/swagent.log
Example 4-4 Creating a patch install file
Task: Create a file containing a list of patches to be applied to the inactive system image. You
want to use the file as the argument of a -f option in a swinstall command run by drd
runcmd. Follow this procedure:
1. Mount the inactive system image:
# /opt/drd/bin/drd mount
2. Enter the patches into a file such as
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/var/opt/drd/my_patch_list
with the following commands:
a. # /usr/bin/echo “PHCO_02201” > \
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/var/opt/drd/my_patch_list
b. # /usr/bin/echo “PHCO_12134” >> \
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/var/opt/drd/my_patch_list
c. # /usr/bin/echo “PHCO_56178” >> \
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/var/opt/drd/my_patch_list
NOTE: If the inactive system image is the original system image, and not the clone, the
root file system mount point is /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_000.
3. Apply the patches using drd runcmd, identifying the file by its path relative to the mount
point of the inactive system image root file system:
# /opt/drd/bin/drd runcmd swinstall -s patch_server:/var/opt/patch_depot \
-f /var/opt/drd/my_patch_list
NOTE: Because the inactive system image was mounted when drd runcmd was executed,
it is still mounted after drd runcmd completes. You can unmount it with the following
command:
# /opt/drd/bin/drd umount
