3. Creating an HDLM Environment

202

that uses

ELILO

as the boot loader, the mount point is displayed as

/boot/efi

instead of

/boot

(in the line where

/boot

is coded), and the file system type is

displayed as

vfat

instead of

ext3

.

7.

If necessary, back up the

/etc/fstab

file.

8.

Edit the

/etc/fstab

file.

Refer to the correspondence between

LABEL

and the SCSI device that you

checked in step 4.
Copy the registration of the

LABEL

specification.

Comment out the existing settings.
Edit the file to disable the

LABEL

specification and enable the SCSI device

specification.

9.

Restart the host to make sure that booting from the SCSI device is possible.
This completes the removal of the

LABEL

setting.

10. Install HDLM.

To install HDLM, see 3.6.2 Performing a New Installation of HDLM perform

steps 2 to 12 to create an HDLM device. You will also need to perform step 13 if

you are only restarting the host. Note that the procedure differs depending on

whether the host is restarted after installation.
In steps 12 to 27 that follow, you will edit the configuration file to change the

definition so that the OS starts with HDLM specified.

11. Execute the HDLM-configuration definition utility (

dlmcfgmgr)

with the

-v

parameter specified to check the correspondence between the HDLM device and

the SCSI device.


# dlmcfgmgr -v
HDevName Management Device Host Channel Target Lun
/dev/sddlmaa configured /dev/sda 0 0 0 0
KAPL10302-I /sbin/dlmcfgmgr completed normally.

The

HDevName

column indicates the HDLM device, and the

Device

column

indicates the SCSI device.

12. Edit the

/etc/lvm/lvm.conf

file so that the LVM2 recognizes the HDLM

device, not the SCSI device.
Figure 3-11: Example of Editing /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file shows examples of

editing the

/etc/lvm/lvm.conf

file.
