in a single-path boot disk environment that uses a SCSI device.
3.7.2 Overview of the Procedure for Installing HDLM in a Boot Disk
Environment
This subsection provides an overview of the procedure for installing HDLM in a boot
disk environment.
(1) Settings for Using an HDLM Device as a Boot Disk
1.
Check whether
LABEL
is used. If it is, remove it.
To use HDLM, you must remove the
LABEL
setting, because a SCSI device
cannot be identified from the value set in
LABEL
in an HDLM environment. See
steps 1 to 16 in 3.7.3 Settings for Using an HDLM Device as a Boot Disk.
2.
Install HDLM.
See step 17 in 3.7.3 Settings for Using an HDLM Device as a Boot Disk.
3.
Edit the configuration file to change the definition such that the HDLM device
can be used as a boot disk.
After editing the configuration file, restart the host to activate the setting. See
steps 18 to 35 in 3.7.3 Settings for Using an HDLM Device as a Boot Disk.
After completing the above procedure, you can perform a new installation of HDLM
in a boot disk environment that uses a SCSI device.
(2) Upgrade Installation in an Environment Where an HDLM Device Is Used as a
Boot Disk
To perform an upgrade installation of HDLM in a boot disk environment that uses a
SCSI device (for details, see 3.7.4 Upgrade Installation in an Environment Where an
HDLM Device Is Used as a Boot Disk):
1.
Edit the configuration file to change the definition so that the OS will start with a
SCSI device specified.
In the definition before the change, the OS starts with HDLM specified. See steps
1 to 16 in 3.7.4 Upgrade Installation in an Environment Where an HDLM Device
Is Used as a Boot Disk.
2.
Perform an upgrade installation of HDLM.
See step 17 in 3.7.4 Upgrade Installation in an Environment Where an HDLM
Device Is Used as a Boot Disk.
3.
Change the definition such that the HDLM device can be used as a boot disk.
Restore the configuration file to its state before the upgrade installation was
performed. See steps 18 to 32 in 3.7.4 Upgrade Installation in an Environment
Where an HDLM Device Is Used as a Boot Disk.
