drd status option doesn't exist

[Gonçalo Almeida]

Hi,
Hi Have a rx2660 server with HP-UX version B.11.23.
The optin "status" of command DRD doesnt exist on my system:

# /opt/drd/bin/drd status
ERROR: Invalid command line:
- Major mode "status" not recognized. Use "drd -?" to list valid
major modes.
#
# drd -?
Usage:



drd [[-] -?]
drd clone [options]
drd mount [options]
drd umount [options]
drd runcmd [options]
drd activate [options]
drd deactivate [options]



Use "drd -?" to see which options apply to a specific



Use "drd - -?" (e.g. "drd -x -?") to get a
description of options that have arguments

How is this possible? How do I solve this problems?

Thanks,
Gonçalo

What is the version of DRD?
You probably need to download the latest version from software.hp.com

Hi Goncalo,

Have you created a drd clone already ? Coz drd status command works only if you have created a drd clone of your disk.

You can create a drd clone of your disk with the following command.

#drd clone -t /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

Here cxtxdx will be the target disk which will be your clone disk.

Once this is done you may run the drd status command and check...

Best Regards,
Prashanth

Hi melvyn ,

Don't know what's the version of my DRD. However, I tryed to update and it failed, because it already had the latest updates.

But the file unsafe_patch_list, was necessary update. After that, the optios "status" appeared in drd -?.

Thanks,
Gonçalo

check......
#/opt/drd/bin/drd status

#/opt/drd/bin/drd mount


download latest drd_unsafe_patch_list file from itrc.com and update it to clone disk /etc/opt/drd/drd_unsafe_patch_list.


than check
whether it will work or not?
