Exploring DRD Rehosting in HP-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3 (July 2010)

* The file "/var/opt/drd/tmp/drdivm2.sysinfo" passes the
syntax check.
* Copying New System Personality
* The sysinfo file "/var/opt/drd/tmp/drdivm2.sysinfo" has been
successfully copied to the target "/dev/disk/disk3".

(user=root) (jobid=drdivm1)
6. You can run the drd status command on the source VM to verify that the system information
file has been copied to SYSINFO.TXT on the clone.
# drd status

Special consideration for HP- UX 11i v2 : If you are using the Single-user-mode repair
method, copy the mapfile created for the clone to the root file system of the clone itself:
# drd mount
# cp –p /var/opt/drd/mapfiles/drd00mapfile \
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/
# drd umount
The next steps are executed on the VM host:
7. On the VM host, run the hpvmmodify command to move the clone disk from the source VM to
the new VM:
# hpvmmodify -P drdivm1 -d disk:avio_stor::disk:/dev/rdisk/disk18
For HP-UX 11i v3, or if the Single-user-mode repair approach is used for HP-UX 11i v2, the clone
can be moved to the target VM with a simple hpvmmodify command. The hpvm resource need
not be specified:
# hpvmmodify –P drdivm2 -a disk:avio_stor::disk:/dev/rdisk/disk18
Special consideration for HP- UX 11i v2: The clone must be moved to the target VM,
taking care to preserve the device file that identifies the disk.
