1. Display the Path Management window. The Path List view appears in the Path

Management window.

2. Click the Options button. The Options window appears.

3. Click the Component information button. The HDLM Component information dialog box

appears. This dialog box displays information about the HDLM manager, HDLM alert

driver, and take the following action:

If the status of the HDLM manager shows Dead, start the HDLM manager.
