Dynamic Root Disk A.3.10.* Release Notes (January 2012)

2. Supported DRD Releases
The first release of DRD, version A.1.0 was posted to the Web in January 2007. For each
release in the last two years, this chapter lists the new features and defect fixes. Note that all
releases are cumulative, and that all releases of DRD are compatible with previous versions of
DRD, unless otherwise noted.
Versions of DRD are supported for at least 2 years. Versions not listed in this section of the latest
Release Notes are no longer supported. This means that while it is recommended to use the latest
version of DRD possible, since there are more quality improvements in each release, it is even
more strongly recommended to use a version of DRD that is listed as supported in the most recent
version of this document.
2.1 Version A.3.10 (March 2012)
DRD version A.3.10 contains only defect fixes and quality improvements. DRD version A.3.10
contains fixes for the following defects:
QXCR1001080540. Prior to this fix a “drd clone” operation might
hang when cloning a system that contained LVM snapshot volumes.
With this fix the “drd clone” operation will issue an error when
attempting to clone a system with LVM snapshot volumes.
QXCR1001120919. Prior to this fix drd_scan_hw_host could go into
interactive mode if the source type could not be determined. With
this fix we no longer consider whether the source type can be
determined and, thus, never go interactive.
QXCR1001129462. Prior to this fix DRD did not copy the
EFI/HPUX/vparconfig.efi file during a clone when the file was
present in the EFI/HPUX directory. With this fix the
EFI/HPUX/vparconfig.efi file will be copied during a clone when
the file is present in the EFI/HPUX directory.
QXCR1001133378. Prior to this fix it would be possible for a
customer configuration to cause drd_scan_hw_host to allocate
large chunks of memory. With this fix, those configurations can
no longer cause this behavior in drd_scan_hw_host.
QXCR1001159424. Prior to this fix setting the environment
variable "TMPDIR" would cause the "drd clone" command to fail.
With this fix DRD will ignore "TMPDIR".
QXCR1001167367. Prior to this fix DRD clone would core dump when
the block DSF of the booted disk was not present on the system.
With this fix the core dump no longer occurs under that
condition.
QXCR1001168773. Prior to this fix DRD clone would fail during the
copying file systems phase when /etc/lvmconf was moved and a symbolic
link was put in its place. With this fix we no longer fail when
/etc/lvmconf is moved and a symbolic link put in its place.
