To mount the inactive system image, execute the drd mount command:

# /opt/drd/bin/drd mount

The command locates the inactive system image and mounts it.

The output of this command is similar to Example 6-1.

Example 6-1 The drd mount command output

# /opt/drd/bin/drd mount

=======  12/08/06 22:19:31 MST  BEGIN Mount Inactive System Image (user=root)
         (jobid=dlkma1)

       * Reading Current System Information
       * Locating Inactive System Image
       * Mounting Inactive System Image

=======  12/08/06 22:19:52 MST  END Mount Inactive System Image succeeded.
         (user=root)  (jobid=dlkma1)

The drd mount command automatically chooses the mount point for the inactive system image. If the image was created by the drd clone command, the mount point is /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001. If the clone has been booted, drd mount mounts the original system at the mount point /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_000. To see all mounted file systems, including those in the active and inactive system images, execute the following command:

# /usr/bin/bdf

The output of this command should look similar to Example 6-2:

Example 6-2  The bdf command output

# /usr/bin/bdf

In this output, file systems identified as dev/vg00/* are the active system image file systems. Those identified as /dev/drd00/* are the inactive system image file systems.
