Autoboot is ON (enabled)

The drd activate and drd deactivate commands enable you to choose an image to be booted the next time the system is restarted. An image is considered to be activated if it will be booted at the next restart of the system. Executing the drd activate command activates the inactive system image. Executing the drd deactivate command activates the booted image. For more details about the use of drd activate and drd deactivate, see the Using Dynamic Root Disk Activate and Deactivate Commands white paper, at http://www.hp.com/go/drd-docs.

6.2 Undoing activation of the inactive system image

If you run drd activate and then decide not to boot the inactive image on the next reboot, use the drd deactivate command to set the primary boot disk to the currently booted disk. For further information on the drd deactivate command, see The drd deactivate command and the drd-deactivate(1M) manpage.
