NAME

drd-mount: drd — mount mode mounts the inactive system image

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The drd mount command mounts all the file systems in the inactive system image.

The DRD commands manage two system images:

  • The image sysimage_000 consists of the LVM volume group or VxVM disk group that was booted when the most recent drd clone command was run, and resides on the physical disk that contains that group.

  • The image sysimage_001 consists of the LVM volume group or VxVM disk group that was created by the drd clone command, and resides on the target disk of the drd clone command.

Since the system may have been booted from the clone between running drd clone and drd mount, either sysimage_001 or sysimage_000 may be active (booted) when the drd mount command is run.

The root file system of the inactive system image is mounted as /var/opt/drd/mnts/name, where name is sysimage_000, or sysimage_001, as described above. All other file systems are mounted under the root file system.

Options

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

-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:

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 mount returns one of the following values:

0

Success.

1

Error.

2

Warning.

EXAMPLES

To mount the inactive system image:

  • drd mount

  • If the system image mounted was created by the most recent drd clone command, the root file system will be mounted at /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001.

  • If the system image was booted when the most recent drd clone command was run, the root file system will be mounted at /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_000.

To display all drd mount extended options:

drd mount -x -?
