Chapter 5 Activating the Inactive System Image

Table of Contents

This chapter describes how to set the inactive system image so it will become the active system image the next time the system boots.




	NOTE: You must be logged in as `root` to run any DRD command.

To make the inactive system image the active system image, run the following command:

# /opt/drd/bin/drd activate -x reboot=true

This command:

Modifies stable storage to indicate that the inactive system image should become the active system image when the system boots.
It then reboots the system.
After the reboot, the formerly inactive system image is the active system image, and the formerly active system image is the inactive system image.




	NOTE: The alternate boot path and the High Availability (HA) alternate boot path are not affected by the drd activate command. In addition, the value of the autoboot flag (set by setboot –b ) is not affected by the drd activate command.
