used to clone an HP-UX system image to an inactive disk for software
maintenance and recovery. The bundle name is DynRootDisk. The product name is DRD. Administrators can use DRD to reduce downtime
for system maintenance by creating an inactive clone of the booted
system, then applying patches and products to the clone. The modified
