.

Make sure that the HDLM device is specified in the definition in the /etc/

Make sure that the mount points for the following HDLM management-

target devices are defined so that the HDLM device will be mounted:

¢

When ELILO is used as the boot loader:
Root directory (/), /boot/efi, /tmp, /usr, /var, swap

¢

When GRUB is used as the boot loader:
Root directory (/), /boot, /tmp, /usr, /var, swap

¢

When LILO is used as the boot loader:
Root directory (/), /tmp, /usr, /var, swap

The following shows an example of the /etc/fstab file:
