SMS series, Universal Storage Platform V/VM, Virtual Storage Platform, and the

EMC DMX series. The conditions mentioned above will be used no matter what

for the settings for the EMC DMX series, EMC CX series, and HP EVA series.

For example, in a cluster environment, the load balancing function is disabled

even if it is set to

on

for the EMC DMX series. For details on the cluster software

supported by HDLM, see 2.14 Cluster Support.

-lbtype {rr|exrr|lio|exlio|lbk|exlbk}

Specify the algorithm to be used for load balancing.

rr

: The Round Robin algorithm

exrr

: The Extended Round Robin algorithm

lio

: The Least I/Os algorithm

exlio

: The Extended Least I/Os algorithm

lbk

: The Least Blocks algorithm

exlbk

: The Extended Least Blocks algorithm

The type of algorithm specified by the

-lbtype

parameter remains stored

in the system, even when you disable the load balancing function by

specifying

-lb off

. Therefore, if you re-enable the load balancing function

without specifying an algorithm, load balancing will be performed according

to the algorithm that is stored in the system.

-ellv

error-log-collection-level

Specify the level of error information you want to collect for an error log.
The following shows the log files in which an error log collection level can be set:
HDLM manager logs:

dlmmgr

n

.log

(n indicates a file number from

1

to

16

)

HDLM GUI logs:

dlmgui

n

.log

(n indicates a file number of

1

or

2

)

Table 6-3: Values of the Error Log Collection Level shows the values of the error

log collection level. If an error occurs, you may have to set the error log collection

level to 1 or higher to collect log information.
