Administrator's Guide

TIP: If you have already booted the (previously) inactive image, you can use drd activate

to return to the (previously) active image.

Example 6-2 Using drd deactivate after activating — legacy DSF

In this example, /dev/dsk/c2t3d0 contains your root volume group, and you use drd clone

to create an inactive system disk at /dev/dsk/c1t2d0. Next, you execute drd activate. The

results are:

• Disk set to become the active system disk after the next reboot: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

• Disk set to become the inactive system disk after the next reboot: /dev/dsk/c2t3d0

The output of drd status is:

# /opt/drd/bin/drd status

======= 07/01/08 13:14:36 MDT BEGIN Displaying DRD Clone Image Information

(user=root) (jobid=drdtest1)

* Clone Disk: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

* Clone LIF Area: AUTO file present, Boot loader present

* Clone Creation Date: 07/01/08 09:37:58 MDT

* Clone Mirror Disk: None

* Mirror LIF Area: None

* Original Disk: /dev/dsk/c2t3d0

* Original LIF Area: AUTO file present, Boot loader present

* Booted Disk: Original Disk (/dev/dsk/c2t3d0)

* Activated Disk: Clone Disk (/dev/dsk/c1t2d0)

======= 07/01/08 13:14:42 MDT END Displaying DRD Clone Image Information

succeeded. (user=root) (jobid=drdtest1)

If plans change prior to rebooting the system and you do not want to have /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

become the active system disk, you can use drd deactivate to “undo” the previous drd

activate command.

The results are:

• Disk set to become the active system disk after the next reboot: /dev/dsk/c2t3d0

• Disk set to become the inactive system disk after the next reboot: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0
