(2) Changing the Status of Paths to Offline(C)
To change the status of paths to
Offline(C)
:
1. Check the current status of the paths.
To change the status of a path to
Offline(C)
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 a path
Offline(C)
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
Offline(C)
, execute the
dlnkmgr
command's
offline
operation.
The paths to be placed offline 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 6.4 offline (Places Paths Offline).
For example, if you want to place all the paths that pass through a specific HBA
port offline, execute the
dlnkmgr
command's
offline
operation with the
-hba
parameter specified. The following shows an example of executing the command:
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr offline -hba 0001.0000
KAPL01055-I All the paths which pass the specified HBA port
will be changed to the Offline(C) status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01056-I If you are sure that there would be no problem
when all the paths which pass the specified HBA are placed
in the Offline(C) status, enter y. Otherwise, enter n. [y/
n]:y
KAPL01061-I 3 path(s) were successfully placed Offline(C); 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = offline
#
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
