4.2.3 Changing the Status of Paths
This section explains how to change path statuses.
(1) Changing the Status of Paths to Online
To change the status of paths to online:
1.
Check the current status of the paths.
To place paths online by specifying an HBA port, CHA port, or single path check
the path name or PATH_ID used to manage the path.
The following shows an example of executing the command:
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path
To place paths online by specifying a SCSI device name, check the SCSI device
name of the path.
The following shows an example of executing the command:
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -lu
2. To change the status of paths to online, execute the
dlnkmgr
command's
online
operation.
The paths to be placed online can be specified by using an HBA port, CHA port,
or single path. Instead of specifying a path, you can also specify a SCSI device
name. For details on how to specify paths, see 6.5 online (Places Paths Online).
For example, if you want to place all the 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 of executing the command:
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr online -hba 0001.0000
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) were not. Operation name = online
#
3. Check to see if the statuses of all the applicable paths have changed.
The following shows an example of executing the command:
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path
