The following is an example of executing the
dlmcfgmgr
utility:
# /sbin/dlmcfgmgr -v
(9) Restoring the Path of an HDLM Device Started in Disconnected Status (When
a Restart Is Not Required)
This subsection describes how to restore the path to an HDLM device that was in
disconnected status (the cable was pulled out or broken) when the host first started. In
this method, the host is not restarted. Note that this operation is applicable to the
HDLM device managed by HDLM only. Also note that the target path of restoration
can be a single, multiple, or all path to the HDLM device.
To restore the path of an HDLM device started in disconnected status (this procedure
does not restart the host):
1.
Execute the HDLM-configuration definition utility (
dlmcfgmgr -v
) or the
view
operation (
dlnkmgr view -drv
) of the HDLM command to check if the host
was started while the path to the relevant HDLM device was in disconnected
status.
The following are examples of executing the command or utility:
When executing the
dlmcfgmgr
utility with the
-v
option:
# /sbin/dlmcfgmgr -v
When executing the
view
operation with the
-drv
option:
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -drv
If the SCSI device name mapped with the path to the relevant HDLM device is
represented with a hyphen (-), in the execution result, this means that the path was
in disconnected status.
Perform this operation if necessary. If it is not necessary to check this, go to step 2.
2. Connect the cable.
If the cable is broken, replace it.
3. Create the SCSI device for the path to be restored.
Since you restore the path without restarting, the path for the SCSI device which
was in disconnected status during bootup will not be created and you must
execute the command for adding a device, shown in Table 4-4: Add SCSI
Devices, to manually create the SCSI device.
