The first five file systems in this output represent the current operating system version; the last
five represent an exact duplicate of the current operating system mounted on an alternate root
path named /clone.”
The final step is to apply the latest patch kit to the alternate root using the dupclone command.
This will install the new patch kit onto the alternate set of drives, which can then be booted. If
for any reason the installation or the reboot fails, you can simply reboot on the original set of
disk drives.
