DRD problem

[Clifton Bonello]

I am stuck with creating DRD image on a SAN disk.

My setup is as follows:

Server is HP Itanium running HPUX v2. I have just installed the latest Quality Pack, the HWEnable Bundle and the Feature11i bundle.

I am trying to do a DRD clone of my vg00 onto a SAN disk and I am trying to boot from this disk. I execute the following command.

1) drd clone -t -- Successful
2) drd activate -- Successful

My problem is that when I run drd activate it says that it is setting the alternate boothpath to the SAN disk, however when I execute command setboot my SAN disk does not show as alternateboot.

Moreover when I reeboot the server there is no mention of the SAN disk in the EFI boot loader.

Any help please?

Shalom,

Setting up the alternate boot path is something you do in EFI.

Thanks for your replay. We did it from the EFI and added a boot entry and we are booting from it.

However I am still pondering why the DRD wasn't able to alter the primary boot with the SAN disk. When we did a DRD on another internal disk, the primary boot was altered.

Anyone knows why?

The drd-activate command is setting the *primary* path to the new clone.

Check what path settings you have before and after activating (setboot).
