3.5.6 Preparations for an Upgrade Installation or Re-installation of

HDLM

Before performing an upgrade installation or re-installation of HDLM, back up the

HDLM-managed devices.
Back up the HDLM driver configuration definition file (/kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf)

Back up the HDLM driver configuration definition file (

/kernel/drv/

dlmfdrv.conf

).

Stopping applications

HDLM manager is inactive during an upgrade installation or re-installation. For

this reason, quit all applications that require log output and other HDLM manager

operations.

3.5.7 Performing an Upgrade Installation or Re-installation of HDLM

You can perform an upgrade installation on a host on which HDLM 05-00 or later is

installed. If you are using an earlier version, uninstall it while referring to

3.17 Uninstalling HDLM, and then perform a new installation of HDLM 6.5.1.
When performing an installation, you can use the existing HDLM driver configuration

definition file (

/kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf

). If the path configuration has not

changed, you will not need to execute the

dlmsetconf

utility for creating the HDLM

driver configuration definition file.
When upgrading to HDLM 6.5.1 from a version earlier than 5.4, or when the license

has expired, you must specify a license key file or enter an appropriate license key.
Notes

Because HDLM manager is inactive during an upgrade installation or

re-installation, no error logs are output. Also, you cannot set HDLM

functions during these types of installation. Restart the host immediately

after the upgrade installation or re-installation has finished.

Do not interrupt the upgrade installation or re-installation.
