Parameters
To place paths Offline
-path
Indicates that the target of the operation is a path managed by HDLM.
This parameter is optional because offline is always used for paths, so it
is assumed.
Make sure that you specify the paths to be taken offline by using the -
cha, -pathid, or -hbaportwwn parameter.
-cha -pathid AutoPATH_ID
Use this parameter to place offline, at one time, all the paths that pass
through a specific CHA port. The command will place offline all the paths
that pass through the CHA port to which the path with the specified
AutoPATH_ID is connected.
Specify the current AutoPATH_ID of the target path, which is displayed by
using the view operation. For details about the view operation, see view
(Displays Information) on page 6-24 . Leading zeros can be omitted
(000001 and 1 indicate the same AutoPATH_ID); however, when the
target AutoPATH_ID is 000000, enter 000000 or 0 for the parameter
value.
AutoPATH_IDs are re-assigned every time the host is restarted. Always
make sure that you use the view operation to find the current
AutoPATH_ID of the target path, before executing the offline operation.
