For details of the drd rehost command, including available options and extended options, see The drd rehost Command.

The common steps for rehosting are:

  1. Create a system image using the drd clone command

  2. Create a system information file for the new image, which contains information such as hostname, IP addresses, language, time zone, and other system information

  3. Copy the system information file to the EFI partition using the drd rehost command

  4. Unpresent the disk (new image) from the source system and present it to the target system that will boot the rehosted image.

  5. Process the new system information file with the auto_parms(1M) utility during the boot of the rehosted image

In order to perform these steps, minimal revisions of Dynamic Root Disk and auto_parms(1M), delivered in the SystemAdmin.FIRST-BOOT fileset are required. For details, see the Exploring DRD Rehosting white paper, located at http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html#Dynamic%20Root%20Disk.
