The following known issues and resolutions for cloning VxVM roots are reported for the March 2008 release of DRD
version A.3.1.1.
Issue Description
On HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23): cloning VxVM 4.1 and VxVM 5.0 roots requires installation of VxVM patches.
Issue Resolution
Please go to the DRD Downloads and Patches
Web page for download and patch information.
Issue Description
On HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31): a VxVM root containing a list of volumes that does not exactly match "rootvol,
standvol, swapvol, homevol, optvol, varvol, usrvol, and tmpvol" is not yet supported.
Issue Resolution
VxVM patches will address this restriction in the future. Please check this page in the future for
up-to-date information.
Issue Description
If you use DRD to install from directory depots on the booted system, you must have the appropriate revision
of SW-DIST installed on both the booted system and the inactive system image. (If you do not use DRD to
install from directory depots on the booted system, you can ignore this issue.)
Issue Resolution
For HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) the revision of SW-DIST must be less than or equal to B.11.23.0706.063 or greater
than or equal to B.11.23.0803.318.
For HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31) the revision of SW-DIST must be greater than or equal to B.11.31.0803.318.
The current download depot of DRD includes SW-DIST revision B.11.xx.0803.318 for both HP-UX 11i v2 and 11i v3.
If you are running HP-UX 11i v2 and the revision of SW-DIST is less than or equal to B.11.23.0706.063, no further
action is needed.
If your revision of SW-DIST is greater than or equal to B.11.xx.0803.318, you need to use the following
workaround to install from directory depot on the booted system:
If booted to the original disk:
# DRD_MOUNT_POINT=/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001
If booted to the clone:
# DRD_MOUNT_POINT=/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_000
Next, execute the following commands:
# drd mount
# mkdir -p ${DRD_MOUNT_POINT}/var/adm/sw/tmpauth
# mount /var/adm/sw/tmpauth \
${DRD_MOUNT_POINT}/var/adm/sw/tmpauth
# drd runcmd swinstall -s \
_your_directory_depot_on_the_booted_image
# umount ${DRD_MOUNT_POINT}/var/adm/sw/tmpauth
# drd umount
