-x logfile=/var/opt/drd/drd.log

This is the path to the log file for this command. Each time DRD is run, this file will grow larger.

This can be changed, for example, to a month-specific location for easier archiving, off-host

backup, and rotation.

-x log_verbosity=4

(Default.) Specifies the level of log verboseness. Replace 4 with the following values:

0 Only ERRORS and the starting/ending BANNER messages.

1 Adds WARNING messages.

2 Adds NOTE messages.

3 Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by the * character.)

4 (Default) Adds verbose INFO messages.

5 Adds additional detailed INFO messages.

-x mirror_disk=block_device_special_file

Specifies the target's block device special file of the mirror disk. The block device special file

should refer to an entire disk, not to a partition. This option requires that LVM mirroring is

installed. The block device special file specified is used to mirror each logical volume in the

target of the clone operation.

-x overwrite={true|false}

Specifies whether drd clone should overwrite existing information on the target disk. That

is, it controls whether a disk containing boot, LVM, or VxVM records can be overwritten. The

-x overwrite=false (default) prevents a disk that contains boot, LVM, or VxVM records

from being overwritten. The -x overwrite=true allows a disk to be overwritten, even if it

contains boot, LVM, or VxVM records. Note that DRD does not overwrite a disk associated

with an active LVM volume group or VxVM disk group, regardless of the setting of the overwrite

option. If a previously created clone is mounted, use the drd umount command to unmount

it before attempting to create a new clone on the disk.

-x preview={true|false}

If true, run this command in preview mode only. That is, complete the analysis phase and exit;

no changes are committed to disk. This option has the same effect as specifying -p on the

command line. The default is false. This option is available on every DRD command except

drd runcmd.

-x reboot={true|false}

If true, specifies the system is rebooted at the successful completion of a drd activate

operation. The default is false.

-x verbosity=3 (Default.)

Specifies the level of stdout/stderr verboseness. Replace 3 with the following values:

0 Only ERRORS and the starting/ending BANNER messages.

1 Adds WARNING messages.

2 Adds NOTE messages.

3 (Default) Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by the * character.)

4 Adds verbose INFO messages.

5 Adds additional detailed INFO messages.

A.1.10 The drd unrehost command

The drd-unrehost(1M) command removes EFI/HPUX/SYSINFO.TXT, and optionally preserves a

copy of it in a file on the booted system.

A system administrator can execute the drd unrehost command after having previously issued

the drd rehost command, specifying the same target, if the disk should not be rehosted.

The format of the sysinfo file is defined in sysinfo(4). To determine the most recent patch that supplies
