Checking the Path Configuration

HDLM functions, such as load balancing and failover, are only available for

HDLM management-target devices that have more than one active path. After

you install HDLM or change the hardware configuration, check the structure

and statuses of the paths.

To check the path information, use the HDLM command's view operation.

The following describes how to check path information by using the dlnkmgr

command's view operation. For details about the view operation, see

view

(Displays Information) on page 6-32

.

Specify the -path parameter and check the output information:

Execute the following command:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path > redirect-

destination-file-1

Open redirect-destination-file-1 and check the following:

¢

Make sure that there is at least one LU being accessed by a path.
A path can be identified by PathName. The LU that is accessed by a

path can be identified by both DskName and iLU.

¢

Make sure that all the paths are online.
Make sure that PathStatus is Online. If a path is not online, Reduced

will be displayed.

¢

Make sure that there are enough host-port-number.bus-number

combinations for the number of physical HBA ports.

¢

Make sure that for each path the combination of the CHA port

(ChaPort), through which multiple paths are accessing the same LU,

and the HBA port (the host port number and bus number displayed in

the PathName column) is different.
The digits displayed on the left of PathName indicate a host port

number. The numbers displayed between the period to the right of the

host port number and the next period indicate a bus number.

Specify the -drv parameter and check the output information:

Execute the following command:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -drv > redirect-

destination-file-2

Open redirect-destination-file-2 and check the HDevName and Device

entries, making sure that an HDLM device corresponding to the sd or ssd

device has been created.
