Dynamic Root Disk A.3.13* Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i v2, HP-UX 11i v3 (766142-001, March 2014)

• Original Disk – specifies which disk the original image is on.
• Original Disk State – reports whether the boot loader, AUTO file, and SYSINFO.TXT file
(Itanium® only) are present on the original disk.
• Booted Disk – specifies which disk is currently booted.
• Activated Disk – upon reboot, the system will boot off this disk.
NOTE: Disk State varies depending on the system's architecture. The drd status command
will list either LIF Area or EFI Partition instead of Disk State. For Itanium® systems, the
Disk State will report whether the personality file, SYSINFO.TXT, exists on the specified disk. This
file is used to rehost a disk. See the drd-rehost(1M) man page for more information.
Disk State varies depending on the system's architecture. The drd status command lists either
Clone LIF Area or Clone EFI Partition.
The drd status command syntax is:
drd status [-?] [-q] [-v] [-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.
-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.)
-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
HA_alternate_bootdisk=block_device_special_file
This is the High Availability alternate boot disk. The High
Availability alternate boot disk must be specified as a block
device special file. High Availability alternate boot disk is
supported only on Itanium-based architecture and for
PA-RISC systems that support hardware partitions.
-x
ignore_unmounted_fs={true|false}
(Default is false) Controls whether a clone fails when an
unmounted file system in the root volume group is detected.
-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:
