6.5 online (Places Paths Online)

The

dlnkmgr

command's

online

operation places offline paths online. Specify the

paths to be placed online by specifying an HBA port, CHA port, or single path. Instead

of specifying a path, you can also specify a SCSI device name.

6.5.2 Parameters

(1) To place paths online

-path

Indicates that the target of the operation is a path managed by HDLM.
This parameter is optional because

online

is always used for paths, so it is

assumed.
Make sure that you specify the path to be taken online by using the

-hba

,

-hbaid

,

-cha

,

-chaid

,

-pathid

, or

-device

parameter. If you do not specify

any of these parameters, the command will place all the offline paths online. If

there is a path that cannot be placed online, a message asking whether you would

like to continue processing will be displayed. To ignore the offline path that

cannot be placed online and to continue processing, enter

y

. To stop the

processing, enter

n

.
