Summary

displayed

Paths

Total number of displayed paths, indicated by a decimal

number.

OnlinePaths

Number of online paths from within the displayed paths,

indicated by a decimal number. When the value of Paths

equals the value of OnlinePaths, all paths are online. If the

value of OnlinePaths is less than that of Paths, some

paths are offline. In this case, you should check the offline

paths and take appropriate action for any paths that have

an error status.

PathStatus

Status of the displayed paths. The displayed status

indicates the following:

Online: All paths are available.

Reduced: Some paths are not available.

Reduced means that some paths might have an error

status, in which case you should check the status of

individual paths and resolve the problem for any paths that

have an error status.

IO-Count

Total I/O count for all the displayed paths, indicated by a

decimal number. The maximum value that can be displayed
is 2

32

- 1 (4294967295). If the total I/O count reaches the

maximum value, it will re-start from 0.

IO-Errors

Total I/O error count for all the displayed paths, indicated

by a decimal number. The maximum value that can be
displayed is 2

32

- 1 (4294967295). If the total I/O error

count reaches the maximum value, it will re-start from 0..

PathID

The AutoPATH_ID indicated by a decimal number.
The AutoPATH_ID is assigned every time the host is

restarted. When a new LU was added and the host has not

been restarted, AutoPATH_ID is re-assigned to each path of

the LU when you execute the HDLM-configuration definition

utility (dlmcfgmgr).

PathName

#1

-

The path name, which indicates a path. When you modify

the system configuration or replace a hardware item, you

should check the path names to identify the physical path

that will be affected by the change. Path name consists of

the following four elements, separated by periods:

Host port number (hexadecimal number)

Bus number (hexadecimal number)

Target ID (hexadecimal number)

Host LU number (hexadecimal number)

For details about each element of the path name and its

representation in Linux, see

name on page 6-49
