DRD - cloned the root disk on a SAN LUN but cannot boot from it

[EU-Admins-UNIX]

HI

Using DRD, I cloned the root disk onto a SAN LUN, but cannot boot from it.  Am I missing something?

Since it is on SAN, the search of a RISC server cannot find it!

This is a limition of RISC servers. Integrity servers can do this.

You need to use the DRD activate command, it sets the complete boot path to this LUN (by swapping the links between the original and the cloned disk).
