drd-activate(1M)					      drd-activate(1M)

NAME
       drd  activate   - after using the drd commands to create and optionally
       modify a clone, this command invokes setboot (1M) to  set  the  primary
       boot  path  to the clone.  Once the clone is booted, using drd activate
       will invoke setboot(1M) to set the primary boot path  to	 the  original
       system  image.	This  command will always set the primary boot path to
       the inactive (not booted) system image.

SYNOPSIS
       option_file]

DESCRIPTION
       The drd activate command invokes the setboot (1M) command  to  set  the
       primary	boot  disk  to	the inactive system image. If a clone has just
       been created, the inactive system image is  the	target	of  the	 clone
       operation.   If the clone has been booted, the inactive system image is
       the original system that was cloned.

       Note:  Running multiple times with no intervening  boot	has  the  same
       effect as running it once.  To "undo" drd activate, use drd deactivate.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Displays the usage message.

	      Sets preview mode.

	      Decreases	 the verbosity level by one each time it is specified.
	      For example,
		     will reduce the verbosity from the default value of 4  to
		     2.	  If  both  and	 are included on the command line, the
		     effective verbosity is 2. The minimum verbosity level  is
		     0.	 (See also the option).

	      Increases	 the verbosity level by one each time it is specified.
	      For example,
		     will increase the effective verbosity  from  the  default
		     value  of 4 to 5. If both and are included on the command
		     line, the effective verbosity is 3. The maximum verbosity
		     level is 5.  (See also the option).

	      Displays the list of possible
		     (extended) options.

	      Sets  the	 extended  option  to a value. See Extended -x Options
	      definitions below.

	      Gets the extended options from a file.

   Extended -x Options
       recognizes the following (extended) options:

       Usage: Basic
	      This is the alternate boot disk.	The alternate boot  disk  must
	      be specified as a block device file.

       Usage: Basic
	      This  is	the  High  Availability alternate boot disk.  The High
	      Availability alternate boot disk must be specified  as  a	 block
	      device file.  High Availability alternate boot disk is supported
	      only on Itanium-based architecture and for PA-RISC systems  that
	      support hardware partitions.

       Usage: Basic
	      This  is	the  path to the log file for this command.  Each time
	      DRD is run, this file will grow larger.  This  can  be  changed,
	      for  example, to a month-specific location for easier archiving,
	      off-host backup, and rotation.

       Usage: Basic
	      Specifies the level of message verbosity in the  log  file  (See
	      also -x verbosity).  Legal values are:

	      Only ERROR messages and the startingending BANNER messages.

	      Adds WARNING messages.

	      Adds NOTE messages.

	      Adds  INFO  messages (informational messages preceded by the '*'
	      character).

	      Adds verbose INFO messages.

	      Adds very-verbose INFO messages.

       Usage: Basic
	      If true, run this command in preview mode only  (i.e.,  complete
	      the  analysis phase and exit; no changes are committed to disk).
	      Setting this option to true has the same effect as specifying -p
	      on the command line.

       Usage: Basic
	      If  true, the system is rebooted at the successful completion of
	      a drd activate operation.

       Usage: Basic
	      Specifies the level of stderr verboseness:

	      Only ERROR messages and the startingending BANNER messages.

	      Adds WARNING messages.

	      Adds NOTE messages.

	      Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by  the  '*'
	      character).

	      Adds verbose INFO messages.

	      Adds very-verbose INFO messages.

		     Note:   The  '-v' option is equivalent to increasing ver‐
		     bosity by 1 (e.g., from 3 to 4) and the  '-q'  option  is
		     equivalent	 to  decreasing	 verbosity by 1.  The '-v' and
		     '-q' options can be used more than once.

   Return Values
       returns the following values:

	      Success.
	      Error.
	      Warning.

   Examples
       To set the inactive system image as the primary boot disk:

       To set the inactive system image as the primary boot disk and a differ‐
       ent disk as the alternate boot disk:

	      For 11iv2:

	      For 11iv3:

       To boot to the inactive system image immediately:

       To display all extended options:
