NAME
drd-activate: drd - activate mode sets the inactive system image to be the primary boot disk the next time
the system is booted
SYNOPSIS
drd activate
[-?][-p][-q]... [-v
]... [-x option=value]... [-x -?][
-X option_file]
DESCRIPTION
The
drd activate command invokes the setboot command (see setboot(1M)) to set the primary boot
disk to the inactive system image. If a clone has just been created, the inactive system image is the target
of the clone operation. If the clone has been booted, the inactive system image is the original system that
was cloned.
Note: Running
drd activate multiple times with no intervening boot has the same effect as running it
once. To "undo"
drd activate, use drd deactivate . See drd-deactivate(1M).

-? Displays the usage message.
-p Sets preview mode. See also -x preview, in the Extended -x Options section below.

Extended -x Options
drd activate recognizes the following -x (extended) options. If a default value exists, it is shown in
bold.
-x alternate_bootdisk=
diskpath
Usage: Basic
This is the alternate boot disk. The diskpath must be specified as a block device file.
-x HA_alternate_bootdisk=
diskpath
Usage: Basic
This is the High Availability alternate boot disk. The diskpath must be specified as a block
device file. The High Availability alternate boot disk is supported only on Itanium-based
architecture and on PA-RISC systems that support hardware partitions.
-x logfile=/var/opt/drd/drd.log
Usage: Basic
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
Usage: Basic
Specifies the level of message verbosity in the log file. (See also -x verbosity .) Legal
values are:
0 Saves only ERROR messages and the starting/ending BANNER messages.
