Unable to create clone disk using DRD

[IT_2007]

Downloaded latest DRD software on one of Itanium Vpar.

Tried to clone using following command on to 63GB disk and failed with /dev/drd00/root is filled messages.

drd clone -v -t /dev/dsk/c2t2d1

Then got bigger disk 133GB and has same device file since Storage guys removed old device and add big disk 133GB.

Now when I run above command, I am getting following:

=> /opt/drd/bin/drd clone -v -x overwrite=true -t /dev/dsk/c2t2d1

======= 03/27/07 14:30:11 EDT BEGIN Clone

Tried even by initializing new disk with pvcreate command and still gives same as above error. Don't know how I force it.

Thanks.

Shalom,

Looks like a bug.

dd will do the job, even across a network.

Have you verified the requirements as per:
http://docs.hp.com/en/DRD/patch.html

If so, then this may be a bug.
As this is a relatively new product, I would strongly recommend you log a support call with your local HP Response Centre for this one.

opened call with HP to check.

removed software and rebooted server which fixed the problem.
