drd-activate(1M)drd-activate(1M)NAME
drd activate - after using the drd commands to create and optionally
modify a clone, this command invokes setboot (1M) to set the primary
boot path to the clone. Once the clone is booted, using drd activate
will invoke setboot(1M) to set the primary boot path to the original
system image. This command will always set the primary boot path to
the inactive (not booted) system image.
SYNOPSIS
option_file]
DESCRIPTION
The drd activate command invokes the setboot (1M) command 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 multiple times with no intervening boot has the same
effect as running it once. To "undo" drd activate, use drd deactivate.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Displays the usage message.
Sets preview mode.
Decreases the verbosity level by one each time it is specified.
For example,
will reduce the verbosity from the default value of 4 to
2. If both and are included on the command line, the
effective verbosity is 2. The minimum verbosity level is
0. (See also the option).
Increases the verbosity level by one each time it is specified.
For example,
will increase the effective verbosity from the default
value of 4 to 5. If both and are included on the command
line, the effective verbosity is 3. The maximum verbosity
level is 5. (See also the option).
Displays the list of possible
(extended) options.
Sets the extended option to a value. See Extended -x Options
definitions below.
Gets the extended options from a file.
Extended -x Options
recognizes the following (extended) options:
Usage: Basic
This is the alternate boot disk. The alternate boot disk must
be specified as a block device file.
Usage: Basic
This is the High Availability alternate boot disk. The High
Availability alternate boot disk must be specified as a block
device file. High Availability alternate boot disk is supported
only on Itanium-based architecture and for PA-RISC systems that
support hardware partitions.
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.
Usage: Basic
Specifies the level of message verbosity in the log file (See
also -x verbosity). Legal values are:
Only ERROR messages and the startingending BANNER messages.
Adds WARNING messages.
Adds NOTE messages.
Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by the '*'
character).
Adds verbose INFO messages.
Adds very-verbose INFO messages.
Usage: Basic
If true, run this command in preview mode only (i.e., complete
the analysis phase and exit; no changes are committed to disk).
Setting this option to true has the same effect as specifying -p
on the command line.
Usage: Basic
If true, the system is rebooted at the successful completion of
a drd activate operation.
Usage: Basic
Specifies the level of stderr verboseness:
Only ERROR messages and the startingending BANNER messages.
Adds WARNING messages.
Adds NOTE messages.
Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by the '*'
character).
Adds verbose INFO messages.
Adds very-verbose INFO messages.
Note: The '-v' option is equivalent to increasing ver‐
bosity by 1 (e.g., from 3 to 4) and the '-q' option is
equivalent to decreasing verbosity by 1. The '-v' and
'-q' options can be used more than once.
Return Values
returns the following values:
Success.
Error.
Warning.

To set the inactive system image as the primary boot disk and a differ‐
ent disk as the alternate boot disk:
For 11iv2:
For 11iv3:
To boot to the inactive system image immediately:
