DRD -X options_file unable to read

[Mw_6]

I'm trying to run a drd runcmd swinstall using the -f and -X (product input / option file input). But DRD saws it can't open/read the option file. If I put the optins on the command line then it says it can't read the software input file. Both files are there and I've even chmod them to 777 to see if that was the problem but it didn't matter.

# pwd
/cghbackup/depots/sep09
# ll sw*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 5641 Apr 13 11:27 swinput
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 145 Apr 14 10:52 swxswitch

# drd runcmd swinstall -s /cghbackup/depots/sep09/cghsep09 -f /cghbackup/depots/sep09/swinput -X /cghbackup/depots/sep09/s>

Anybody have any thoughts on why it can't open/read the files?

[Mw_6]

I how verified this is an issue with DRD.

It is looking for the files to be on the clone image not the local system.

If I:
drd mount
cp the files to drd mounted image
drd umount

And then run my original command it find the input files. Though I don't think that should be the intended behavior.

See previous message.

Hello Mw -

As you saw, the files referenced in the SD command must reside on the inactive image. This information is included in drd-runcmd(1M):

Any file referenced by the command line, that is, the argument of the view command and any argument of any of the options -c, -f -P, -S, -X, -x logfile, or -x patch_filter, must reside on the inactive system image and must be designated by the path it would have if the inactive image were booted. This is the same as its path relative to the mount point of a mounted inactive image. For example, the location that will be /var/opt/list when the image is booted is either /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/var/opt/list or
/var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_000/var/opt/list when the inactive image is mounted. If this file is an argument of one of the options listed above, it should be specified as simply /var/opt/list.

This restriction also applies to the arguments of "-x logfile" and "-x
patch_filter" that appear in a file that is the argument of the "-X" option, and to paths that appear in a file that is the argument of a "-S" option.

Note that this restriction does NOT apply to local directory depots, which must reside on the booted system, and be designated by their
location on the booted system.

Thanks,
Judy
