DRD-Safe Concepts for HP-UX 11i v2 and Later

7 Making Special Installation Instructions DRD-Safe
When installing patches during a DRD session, the user MUST not stop/kill or restart processes, and
should only make kernel tunable changes using drd runcmd kctune. If you have included Special
Installation Instructions with your patch that instructs the user to do either of these things, please
include the following text at the top of your Special Installation Instructions:

• You need not and MUST not stop/kill or restart any processes or
daemons. Because the patch is being installed on a DRD clone, these
actions are not needed, and in fact could leave the running system in an
undesirable state. When the DRD clone is booted, all processes will be
stopped and restarted.
• Only make kernel tunable changes by running drd runcmd kctune.
