When Installing HDLM in a Boot Disk Environment
To perform a new installation of HDLM:
1
.
For AIX 5.3, use a single-path configuration for hosts and storage
systems.
For AIX 6.1 or AIX 7.1, you can use a single-path configuration or a multi-
path configuration for hosts and storage systems.
2
.
Log in to AIX as the root user.
If you are using a virtual I/O server, see the virtual I/O server
documentation to log in to AIX.
3
.
If the boot disk is in a multi-path configuration, execute the commands
below to confirm that the physical volume containing the boot logical
volume hd5 is the same as the physical volume used for booting.
If the boot disk is in a single-path configuration, you do not have to
perform this step.
¢
Identify the physical volume that contains the boot logical volume
hd5:
# lsvg -M rootvg | grep -w hd5
hdisk3:1 hd5:1
In this example, hdisk3 contains the boot logical volume hd5.
¢
Identify the physical volume used for booting:
# getconf BOOT_DEVICE
hdisk3
In this example, hdisk3 is used for booting.
If the boot physical volume that contains the logical volume hd5 is
different from the physical volume used for booting, the following
message appears, and the HDLM installation ends with an error:
0503-497 installp: An error occurred during bosboot test
processing.
To make the physical volume that contains the boot logical volume hd5
the same as the physical volume used for booting, execute the bootlist
command by specifying the physical volume that contains the boot logical
volume hd5, and then restart the host.
The following shows an example of executing the command when the
physical volume that contains the boot logical volume hd5 is hdisk3:
# bootlist -m normal hdisk3
After restarting the host, perform the procedure again from step 2.
