Dynamic I/O Path Control Function
In a storage system in which the dynamic load balance controller function is
installed, enable the dynamic I/O path control function to make the HDLM
load balancing effective.
When the dynamic I/O path control function is enabled, the controller
selected by the dynamic load balance controller function is recognized as the
owner controller. Other controllers are recognized as non-owner controllers.
The dynamic I/O path control function can be enabled or disabled based on
each host, connected storage system, or LU.
The dynamic I/O path control function can be specified by using the HDLM
command's set operation. For details about the set operation, see set (Sets
Up the Operating Environment) on page 6-16 .
Error management
For troubleshooting purposes, HDLM collects information and stores it into log
files. The error information to be collected can be filtered out by error level,
and then stored into the log files. The following figure shows the flow of data
when error information is collected on a host which is running HDLM.
