DRD sync – algorithm

• The list of files on the active system in the root group is the initial list of

files to be synchronized

Trimming the list of files to be synchronized

The following locations are not synchronized: /var/adm/sw/, /var/tmp/,

/var/opt/drd/tmp/, /stand/, /tmp, /etc/lvmconf, /etc/vx/,

/etc/vxvmconf/, /dev/<clone_group>, plus files specified by adminstrator

Files that have changed on the clone because of operations other than „drd

sync‟ are not synchronized

Nonvolatile files in the Software Distributor Installed Products Database (IPD)

are not synchronized

Volatile files in the Software Distributor Installed Products Database (IPD) are

only synchronized if templates match

Files that are copies by a special “repair” mechanism such as/etc/fstab

or/etc/lvmtab
