Cluster Cloning Offers Alternative to No-Roll Patching

This kit provides a new installation method, generically referred to as cloning, using a new tool named dupclone . The process consists of two primary steps:

Creating an exact duplicate of an existing system on an alternate set of disk drives.
Using dupclone to install the patch kit to the alternate disk set. After completion, the system can immediately be rebooted using the alternate disks.

See the Patch Installation Instructions document and the new dupclone(8) reference page for information about using dupclone. See “dupclone Error Message Can Be Ignored (new)” for information about a message you may see when using dupclone.
