Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) provides customers the ability to clone an HP-UX system image to an inactive disk,
and then:
- Perform system maintenance on the clone while their HP-UX 11i system is online
- Quickly reboot during off-hours—after the desired changes have been made—significantly reducing system
downtime
- Utilize the clone for system recovery, if needed
- Rehost the clone on another system for testing or provisioning purposes on the following:
- Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VMs) running either HP-UX 11i v3 LVM or HP-UX 11i v2 LVM
- Integrity server blades running HP-UX 11i v3 LVM
- Perform an OE Update on the clone from an older version of HP-UX 11i v3 to HP-UX 11i v3 update 4 or later
