„ HDLM outputs the log information for analyzing errors at the time of installation
to a file. The file name, which is the output destination, is
/var/tmp/
hdlminstlog/installhdlm[01-10].log
, and the maximum number of
files that can be created is 10. If 10 files already exist and you perform another
installation, the oldest file is deleted and a new log file is output.
„ The following information is inherited from the previous environment even when
HDLM is installed during an upgrade installation or re-installation:
• Information for defining the configuration of an HDLM device
• Information for setting up HDLM functions
• Log information
• Driver configuration
