is installed. The block device special file specified will be used to mirror each logical volume in
the target of the clone operation.
A log of the cloning operation is available at /var/opt/drd/drd.log. This log is written to
the booted system. Because it is located in the /var file system, it is copied during the clone
operation to the /var file system on the clone. However, because the clone file systems must be
unmounted before the final ending banner message of the operation is written to the log, the record
of the clone operation in the log on the clone is truncated at the message indicating that file systems
are being copied. The next message in the log on the clone is issued by the next DRD command
run on the clone itself after it is booted. The log on the booted system is complete, ending with the
final banner message.
The drd clone command syntax is:
drd clone [-?] [-p] [-q] [-v] -t target_device_file [-x extended
option=value] [-x -?] [-X option_file]
Options
-?
Displays the usage message for a DRD command. This option cannot be used with other options.
-p
Sets preview mode. When run with the -p option, a DRD command performs analysis without
running the command and reports any errors.
-q
Decreases the verbosity level by one each time it is specified. For example, -qq will reduce
the verbosity from the default value of 4 to 2. If both -x verbosity=5 and -qqq are included
on the command line, the effective verbosity is 2. The minimum verbosity level is 0. (See also
the -x verbosity option.)
-v
Increases the verbosity level by one each time it is specified. For example, -v will increase the
effective verbosity from the default value of 4 to 5. If both -x verbosity=1 and -vv are
included on the command line, the effective verbosity is 3. The maximum verbosity level is 5.
(See also the -x verbosity option.)
-t target_device_file
The -t target_device_file option and parameter are required with the drd clone
command. This option specifies the block device special file (for example, /dev/dsk/c2t0d0)
of a single physical disk on which the cloned system image is to be written. The block device
special file must exist on the system and be writeable. All data previously on a disk will be
unavailable after a clone operation. (See the -x overwrite extended option.)
-x extended_option= value
Sets the extended option to a value.
-x -?
Displays the list of possible -x (extended) options.
-X option_file
Gets the extended options from a file.
Extended options
The following extended options are available:
-x alternate_bootdisk=block_device_special_file
This is the alternate boot disk. The alternate boot disk must be specified as a block device
special file.
-x copy_autofile={true|false}block_device_special_file
(Default is true) Controls whether to copy the EFI/HPUX/AUTO file from the active to the
inactive system image.
