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 the

online

is always used for paths, so it is

assumed.
Specify the paths to be taken online by using the

-hba

,

-cha

,

-pathid

, or

-hbaportwwn

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 asks whether you would like to continue processing. To

ignore the offline path that cannot be placed online and to continue processing,

enter

y

. To stop the processing, enter

n

.

-hba

host-port-number.bus-number

Use this parameter to place online, at one time, all the paths that pass through a

specific HBA port. The command will place online all the paths connected to the

HBA port that has the specified host port number and bus number.
