Note

The device name of the enclosure corresponding to the LU might vary before

and after installing HDLM. Make sure that you perform step 1 to check the

correspondence between the device name of the enclosure and the LU.

If the

vxdisk

command displays the value of

HDevName

(

command's

operation, the HDLM device is recognized

by VxVM. Go to step 2. If the

(

dlnkmgr

command's

view -path

operation, the HDLM device is not recognized by VxVM. In this case, perform

step 2, then re-execute step 1 to make sure that the HDLM device is recognized.

2.

Execute the

vxdmpadm

command for the devices displayed by the

vxdisk

command to make sure that only the HDLM devices are

ENABLED

.

To check whether the HDLM devices are

output by the

dlnkmgr

command's

view -path

operation. Also,

make sure that all non-HDLM devices are removed from VxVM management and

not displayed.
The following shows an example of executing the command:

Note

The load balancing and failover functions will not work normally if the

command outputs non- HDLM devices (devices that are not

displayed for

operation), and if

. Therefore, non-HDLM devices must
