12. Restart the host.

Execute the following command to restart the host:


# shutdown -r now

A path will be established in the HDLM device and the HDLM manager will start.

13. If you have edited the

/etc/fstab

file as described in (1) Operations Required

for Devices to Be Managed by HDLM in 3.6.1 Preparations for a New

Installation of HDLM, add the line show below to change the setting from a SCSI

device specification to an HDLM device specification.

/etc/fstab

file is shown in the following figure:

Add the shaded line shown in the above figure.

14. Specify the settings required for using LUKS.

Perform this step if your host OS uses LUKS. If HDLM manages a SCSI device

that has been configured to use LUKS, the LUKS settings must be migrated from
the SCSI device to an HDLM device.
For details on setting up LUKS, see 3.8 Settings for LUKS.

# mdadm -A -scan
mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 2 drives.
