Dynamic Root Disk A.3.11.* Release Notes

attempt to set the High Availability bootpath on vPar systems that do not
support the High Availability bootpath. With this fix “drd activate” and
“drd deactivate” do not attempt to set the High Availability bootpath on vPar
systems.
QXCR1001113284. Prior to this fix “drd sync” could not tolerate
filenames that contain unprintable control characters. With this
fix “drd sync” now handles unprintable control characters as well as
characters in the extended ASCII code set.
2.4 Version A.3.8 (March 2011)
DRD version A.3.8 contains the following new features:
• Ability to sync file system and volume group information
• New FAQ entry on using DRD in a vPars environment
DRD version A.3.8 contains fixes for the following defects:
QXCR1000968514. Prior to this fix, if a clone disk or original boot disk was
removed from a system, DRD commands would fail with confusing messages. This
change clarifies the messages and makes them consistent for roots managed by
either LVM or VxVM.
QXCR1001024172. Prior to this fix, drd would create a clone or mirror on an
NPIV disk. After the fix, drd rejects the target with an appropriate message
that NPIV disks are not bootable.
QXCR1001026491. Prior to this fix, if boot disks were moved by using pvmove
or by creating & breaking mirrors without a reboot, drd clone would fail with
the following errors:
ERROR: Making the file system bootable on clone fails.
- Mounting the file system fails.
- Mounting the inactive system image fails.
- The "mount" command fails with the return code "1". The error
message from the command is
"mount: /dev/drd00/lvol3 is already mounted on
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001"
- Use the "bdf(1M)" and "umount(1M)" commands to remove any
conflicting mounts.
* Making New System Image Bootable failed with 1 error.
* Unmounting New System Image Clone
* System image: "sysimage_000" on disk "/dev/disk/disk15"
ERROR: Unmounting the file system fails.
- Unmounting the clone image fails.
- The volume "/dev/drd00/lvol3" is part of the inactive system
image, but is mounted at
"/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/" rather than under the directory
"/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_000".
Unmount the volume with umount(1M), then re-run drd.
QXCR1001038220. The use of the -i (interactive) option with drd runcmd
update-ux was never meant to be supported. We now check for use of this
option and issue an error message. The DRD manpage reflects this change.
