3. Creating an HDLM Environment

305

checked in step 9, change the HDLM device names on the

DEVICE

line to the

SCSI device names.
Before the correction:

DEVICE /dev/sddlmaa1 /dev/sddlmab1

After the correction:

DEVICE /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdi1

When you edit the

DEVICE

line, change only the device names. Do not change the

partition numbers.

11. If necessary, change the disk partition type of the SCSI devices back to

fd

.

When you change the disk partition type to

fd

, the md device is automatically

activated when the host restarts, even if the

/etc/mdadm.conf

file does not

exist.
The following example shows how to execute the

fdisk

command to change the

disk partition type to

fd

:


# fdisk /dev/sddlmaa
