Description/actionProblem
When executing drd runcmd update-ux on the inactive DRD system
image using a directory depot (or mounted media) that resides on the
active system image, the command fails with this error:
ERROR: The expected depot does not exist at
"<depot_name>"
In order to use a directory depot on the active system image, you will
need to create a loopback mount to access the depot.
What to do
The following steps should be followed to update the clone from a
directory depot that resides on the active system image. The steps must
executed as root, in this order:
1. Mount the clone using drd mount
2. Make the directory on the clone and loopback mount the depot. The
directory on the clone and the source depot must have the same name,
in this case /var/depots/0909_DCOE (the name can be whatever
you chose):
# mkdir -p /var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/ \
var/depots/0909_DCOE
# mount -F lofs /var/depots/0909_DCOE/ \
var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/var/depots/0909_DCOE
# drd runcmd update-ux -s /var/depots/0909_DCOE
3. Once your update has completed, unmount the loopback mount and
then unmount the clone:
# umount –F lofs /var/depots/0909_DCOE/ \
var/opt/drd/mnts/sysimage_001/var/depots/0909_DCOE
# drd umount
drd runcmd update-ux may
fail when executed on the
inactive DRD system image
