Dynamic Root Disk (DRD):

Dynamic Root Disk (DRD):

  • Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) is an HP-UX system administration toolset that lets you create and modify an inactive system image without shutting down the system. To do this, you can clone the active system image and modify the cloned (inactive) system image while the system is running. When ready, you can boot the cloned image. Usually, the only downtime required is the rebooting process.
  • System administrators use DRD to manage system images on HP PA-RISC and Itanium® -based systems

DRD commands

The DRD commands are:
drd activate
drd clone
drd deactivate
drd mount
drd rehost
drd runcmd
drd status
drd sync
drd umount
drd unrehost
