Dynamic Root Disk A.3.13 * Release Notes (766141-001, March 2014)
"/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.
• QXCR1001074042: Prior to this fix, when PHCO_40522 was installed on an HP-UX 11iv2
(11.23) system, the clone operation would fail with an unmount error. Now clone works as
expected.
• QXCR1001092279: Prior to this fix, using the path name of the root volume group for the
vg_name in the lvmpvg file would cause the lvmpvg file to be copied incorrectly during a
clone operation. Now it is copied correctly.
Version A.3.6 and A.3.7 (September 2010)
Version A.3.6 is the September 2010 media release and A.3.7 is the August 2010 web release.
DRD version A.3.7 contains the following new feature:
Enhancement to drd sync to allow users to exclude files and directories, in addition to those
described in drd-sync (1M), from the sync operation.
DRD version A.3.6 and A.3.7 contain the following new features:
• Support for LVM 2.2 root volumes. A clone can be made of an LVM 2.2 root volume, then all
the other drd commands, such as runcmd, activate, sync, and mount can be run on that clone.
• Enhancements to drd sync to support frequently changing files, such as logs of automated
processes.
• Support in drd runcmd for kcmodule, kconfig, and mk_kernel. This enhancement
introduces limited support for rehosting to a different model system.
DRD version A.3.7 contains fixes for the following defects:
• QXCR1001056449: This fix resolves the issue where drd sync does not copy new files and
directories to the clone even though they are listed in
/var/opt/drd/sync/files_to_be_copied_by_drd_sync.
• QXCR1001054745: The issue where drd rehost will not allow SYSINFO_HOSTNAME to
contain the "-" character has been resolved. Symptoms of the issue appear as follows:
======= 06/29/10 16:26:50 MESZZ BEGIN Rehost System Image
(user=root)
(jobid=st-shpu8)

* WARNING: The invalid value SYSINFO_HOSTNAME=st-shpu8 is ignored.
ERROR: A non-empty value must be specified for SYSINFO_HOSTNAME.
* End of messages from validation of the system info file
• QXCR1001051734: Prior to the fix for QXCR1001051734, drd sync treated all non-zero
return codes from list_expander (the utility that creates the initial list of files to be synchronized)
as warnings. In some cases, this resulted in an empty list of files to be synchronized, but just
a warning return code from "drd sync." After this fix, the return code from list_expander is
always respected, and an error return code will cause "drd sync" to fail.
• QXCR1001050440: Prior to the fix for QXCR1001050440, the existence of /etc/lvmpvg
caused drd clone to fail. After the fix, drd clone succeeds.
• QXCR1001041894: Prior to the fix for QXCR1001041894, DRD sync incorrectly recorded
files with special characters in the DRD registry. This caused the registry to be unreadable,
making subsequent "drd sync" operations fail. After the fix, files containing special characters
are handled correctly.
