4.3.3 Changing the Status of Paths
This subsection explains how to change the status of paths.
4.3.3.1 Changing the Status of a Path to Online
To change the status of a path to online:
1. Check the current status of the path. To change the status of the path for each HBA
port, channel adapter port, or path to online, check the path name or AutoPATH_ID.
The following example shows how to execute the command:
>dlnkmgr view -path
2. To change the status of a path to online, execute the dlnkmgr command's online
operation.
You can specify the paths you want to place online by specifying an HBA port or channel
adapter port to which the target paths are connected, or by specifying a single path.
However, you can specify the online operation for a channel adaptor port only when
the HDLM management-target device is the Thunder 9200/9500V series, Lightning
9900/9900V series, TagmaStore, and Universal Storage Platform V. For details on how to
specify a path, see section 7.5.
For example, if you want to place all paths that pass through a specific HBA port online,
execute the dlnkmgr command's online operation with the -hba parameter specified.
The following shows an example in which the command is executed:
>dlnkmgr online -hba 1.1
KAPL01057-I All the paths which pass the specified HBA will be changed to the
Online status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01061-I 3 path(s) were successfully placed online. 0 path(s) could not be
placed online. Operation name = online

3. Check the changed status of the path. The following example shows how to execute the
command:
>dlnkmgr view -path
