QXCR1001105660. Prior to the fix for this CR, when using ssh -x to a system,
execution of “drd runcmd” for a GUI application would result in an X11
forwarding failure as follows:
* Executing command: "/usr/sbin/swinstall"
NOTE: The interactive UI was invoked, since no software was
specified. Xlib: connection to "localhost:13.0" refused by server
Xlib: PuTTY X11 proxy: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 data did not match.
With this fix, the GUI now runs correctly.
QXCR1001106819. Prior to this fix “drd activate” and “drd deactivate” would
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

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.
