Dynamic Root Disk (DRD) is an HP-UX system administration toolset
used to clone an HP-UX system image to an inactive disk for software
maintenance and recovery.
System administrators use DRD to manage system images on HP
PA-RISC and Itanium®-based
systems.
DRD complements other parts of your total HP solution by reducing
system downtime while installing and updating patches and other software.
DRD is supported on systems running HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004,
or a more recent release of HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3, with a root
volume managed by Logical Volume Manager (LVM) or VERITAS Volume Manager
(VxVM) Release 4.1.
