Dynamic Root Disk

The HP-UX DRD (Dynamic Root Disk) toolset is made available by HP for purposes ranging from

production/patch lifecycle management to OS upgrades and actual and/or exercised disaster recovery

events. This toolset has been named (as such) for its intent to work primarily with your root Volume

Group (i.e. vg00 under LVM control). This toolset is available for HP-UX 11i v3 (LVM 2.x and 1.x) and

HP-UX 11i v2 (Sep 2004 Update release or newer, LVM 1.x); available for FREE download from

https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=DynRootDisk.

This section will present the best use of Dell Compellent Storage Center presented LUNs with the DRD

toolset. It is not meant to be a complete nor comprehensive discussion about the use of DRD for every

HP-UX environment. For further assistance with DRD, reference the MAN pages included with the

software package as well as the DRD Document Home located here

With HP-UX 11i v2, you would install the following products to your target host and OS. This command

may also need to reboot your system during the installation process in order to perform any necessary

kernel modifications.

Type: swinstall –x autoreboot=true –s /tmp/DRD_1123_WEB1201.depot \*

(where the /tmp folder is the location where you had downloaded the .depot software package)

Upon installation, you would now have your DRD installation located here.

Type: whereis drd

drd: /opt/drd/bin/drd /opt/drd/share/man/man1m.Z/drd.1m

Type: swlist –l bundle | grep –i dyn

DynRootDisk B.1123.A.3.10.203 Dynamic Root Disk

The first step is to present a Dell Compellent Storage Center LUN to the target host (reference Server

Setup, LUN Discovery). This LUN should be sized equivalent to or larger than the capacity of the root

Volume Group. To discover the size of the vg00 Volume Group, run the command.

Type: vgdisplay –v vg00 | grep PE

Max PE per PV 4356

PE Size (Mbytes) 32

Total PE 4346

Alloc PE 1212

Free PE 3134
