7 Making Special Installation Instructions DRD-Safe
When installing patches during a DRD session, the user MUST not stop/kill or restart processes, and should only make kernel tunable changes using drd runcmd kctune. If you have included Special Installation Instructions with your patch that instructs the user to do either of these things, please include the following text at the top of your Special Installation Instructions:
If you are installing this patch on the inactive DRD system image:
•You need not and MUST not stop/kill or restart any processes or daemons. Because the patch is being installed on a DRD clone, these actions are not needed, and in fact could leave the running system in an undesirable state. When the DRD clone is booted, all processes will be stopped and restarted.
•Only make kernel tunable changes by running drd runcmd kctune.
