6.5.2 Parameters

(1) To place paths Online

-path

Indicates that the target of the operation is a path managed by HDLM.
This parameter is optional because

online

is always used for paths, so it is

assumed.
Make sure that you specify the path to be taken online by using the

-hba

,

-cha

,

-pathid

, or

-device

parameter. If you do not specify any of these parameters,

the command will place all the offline paths online. If there is a path that cannot

be placed online, a message asking whether you would like to continue processing

will be displayed. To ignore the offline path that cannot be placed online and to

continue processing, enter

y

. To stop the processing, enter

n

.

-hba

host-port-number.bus-number

Use this parameter to place online, at one time, all the paths that pass through a

specific HBA port. The command will place online all the paths connected to the

HBA port that has the specified host port number and bus number.
