and the HDLM devices are displayed.

18. If you need to mount the file systems on the md device, mount them.
19. Add a path to the LU.

Connect a path to the corresponding LU and then restart the host, or add a path to

an existing LU by performing the procedure described in (3) Adding a Path to an

Existing LU in 4.6.4 Changing the HDLM Device Configuration.

(2) When the MULTIPATH Function Is Being Used for md Devices

The following explains the procedure to use HDLM in an md device environment

where the MULTIPATH function is being used. To use HDLM, you need to disable md

device's MULTIPATH function. The example below explains how to migrate an md

device for which the MULTIPATH function is used to an md device for which the

LINEAR function is used.
In this procedure, the device

/dev/md0

on

/dev/sdo1

and

/dev/sdh1

is migrated

to the device

/dev/md0

on

/dev/sddlmaa1

. Use the following procedure to

configure the environment shown in Figure 3-27: Device Configuration Where an

md Device (An Environment that Uses the md Device's MULTIPATH Function) on a

SCSI Device Is Migrated to an md Device on an HDLM Device.
