DRD clone fails

Latest release of DRD
# DRD B.1131.A.3.8.454 Dynamic Root Disk

OS disks
main disk10
mirror disk15

DRD disks
main disk11
mirror disk16

command:
drd clone -v -t /dev/disk/disk11 -x verbosity=4 -x overwrite=true -x mirror_disk=/dev/disk/disk16

Errors:
ERROR: Selection of the target disk fails.
- Selecting the target disk fails.
- Validation of the disk "/dev/disk/disk11" fails with the following error(s):
- The disk ";/dev/disk/disk11"; is in use on the system.
* Selecting Target Disk failed with 1 error.

Tried pvcreate on /dev/rdisk/disk11, but still fails.
strings /etc/lvmtab shows disk11 part of drd00
/dev/drd00
/dev/disk/disk11_p2
/dev/dsk/c18t2d0s2
/dev/disk/disk16_p2

/dev/drd00 was active in LVM.
deactivate /dev/drd00 and vgexport it.

Then drd clone worked.

Clean up LVM.

Shalom,

DRD requires the target disk not in use.

Its pretty common for systems to be mirrored.

Prior to drd clone we break the mirror.

drd does not do that for you, as the process is different for LVM versus vxvm
