NAME

drd-deactivate: drd — deactivate mode sets the active system image to be the primary boot disk the next time the system is booted

SYNOPSIS

drd deactivate [-?] [-p] [-q]... [-v]... [-x option=value] [-x -?] [-X option_file]

DESCRIPTION

The drd deactivate command invokes the setboot command (see setboot(1M)) to set the primary boot disk to the active (booted) system image.

Note: drd deactivate is a mechanism for "undoing" a drd activate command.

Options

drd deactivate recognizes the following options:

-?

Displays the usage message.

-p

Sets preview mode. See also -x preview, in the Extended -x Options section below.

-q

Decreases the verbosity level by one each time it is specified. For the interaction with -x verbosity, see the Extended -x Options section below.

-v

Increases the verbosity level by one each time it is specified. For the interaction with -x verbosity, see the Extended -x Options section below.

-x -?

Displays the list of possible -x (extended) options.

-x option=value

Sets the extended option to a value. See the Extended -x Options section below.

-X option_file

Gets the extended options from a file. See drd(1M) for an explanation of the format and an example of an option file.

Extended -x Options

drd deactivate recognizes the following -x (extended) options. If a default value exists, it is shown in bold.

-x alternate_bootdisk=diskpath

Usage: Basic

This is the alternate boot disk. The diskpath must be specified as a block device file.

-x HA_alternate_bootdisk=diskpath

Usage: Basic

This is the High Availability alternate boot disk. The diskpath must be specified as a block device file. High Availability alternate boot disk is supported only on Itanium-based architecture and on PA-RISC systems that support hardware partitions.

-x logfile=/var/opt/drd/drd.log

Usage: Basic

This is the path to the log file for this command. Each time DRD is run, this file will grow larger. This can be changed, for example, to a month-specific location for easier archiving, off-host backup, and rotation.

-x log_verbosity=4

Usage: Basic

Specifies the level of message verbosity in the log file. (See also -x verbosity.) Legal values are:

0

Saves only ERROR messages and the starting/ending BANNER messages.

1

Adds WARNING messages.

2

Adds NOTE messages.

3

Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by the * character).

4

Adds verbose INFO messages.

5

Adds very-verbose INFO messages.

-x preview=false

Usage: Basic

If true, run this command in preview mode only (that is, complete the analysis phase and exit; do not commit changes to disk). Setting this option to true has the same effect as specifying -p on the command line.

-x verbosity=3

Usage: Basic

Specifies the level of standard error verboseness. Legal values are:

0

Displays only ERROR messages and the starting/ending BANNER messages.

1

Adds WARNING messages.

2

Adds NOTE messages.

3

Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by the * character).

4

Adds verbose INFO messages.

5

Adds very-verbose INFO messages.

See also the -v and -q options in the Options section above. The -v option increases the verbosity by 1 (for example, from 3 to 4) and the -q option decreases the verbosity by 1. The -v and -q options can be given more than once. Multiples can be merged, as in -qq.

For example, if both -x verbosity=5 and -qqq are included on the command line, the effective verbosity is 2. The minimum combined verbosity level is 0.

For example, if both -x verbosity=1 and -vv are included on the command line, the effective verbosity is 3. The maximum combined verbosity level is 5.

RETURN VALUE

drd deactivate returns one of the following values:

0

Success.

1

Error.

2

Warning.

EXAMPLES

To restore the active (booted) system image as the primary boot disk:

drd deactivate

To restore the active (booted) system image as the primary boot disk and set a different disk as the alternate boot disk:

  • For 11i v2:

  • drd deactivate -x alternate_bootdisk=/dev/dsk/c1t1d0

  • For 11i v3:

    drd deactivate -x alternate_bootdisk=/dev/disk/disk1

To display all drd deactivate extended options:

drd deactivate -x -?
