If you have got a SCSI device name as the output, check the output

of step 1 to confirm the HDLM device name corresponding to the SCSI

device name, and change the UUID to the HDLM device name in the /
etc/crypttab file's second field.

The following shows an example of changing the setting in the /etc/
crypttab file's second field.

Before:

luks-volume1 UUID="050f9901-3ab8-4556-a091-9c6e4a404f09" /etc/

cryptpassword1

After:

luks-volume1 /dev/sddlmaa /etc/cryptpassword1

Map the device used by device mapper to the HDLM device.
The following shows an example of mapping /dev/mapper/luks-volume1

(that was unmapped at step 4) to the HDLM device when using a key file

(/etc/cryptpassword1).

# cryptsetup -d /etc/cryptpassword1 luksOpen /dev/sddlmaa luks-

volume1

key slot 0 unlocked.

Command successful.

Settings for md Devices

This section explains the procedures that the user must perform when using

md devices.

Notes on Setting Up md Devices

The following are notes on using md devices:

Because HDLM is multi-path software, it cannot be used with the
MULTIPATH function for md devices.

If you are using the MULTIPATH function for md devices before you install

HDLM, change it to the LINEAR function after installing HDLM.

An md device created in HDLM cannot be used in a boot disk

environment.
