A simple mechanism for determining if you have chosen a sufficiently large disk is to run a preview of the drd clone command: drd clone -p -v -t path_to_block_DSF Where path_to_block_DSF is of the form: • HP-UX 11i v2: /dev/disk/cXtXdX • HP-UX 11i v3: /dev/disk/diskX The preview operation includes the disk space analysis needed to see if the target disk is sufficiently large.
