3. Creating an HDLM Environment

Execute the following command to make sure that the hdisk recognized as the

device to be managed by HDLM has been deleted:

# lsdev -Cc disk

Prepare the license key or license key file.

• When only the license key has been provided

Create the

/var/DLM

directory, and then, in this directory, create the license

key file (

dlm.lic_key

). The following shows an example when the license

key is

123456789ABCDEF

# mkdir /var/DLM

# echo "123456789ABCDEF" > /var/DLM/dlm.lic_key

• When the license key file has been provided

Store the license key file directly under the

/var/tmp/

directory by using

the

hdlm_license

name.

/var/tmp/hdlm_license

Note that the

hdlm_license

and

dlm.lic_key

files are deleted after

installation finishes successfully.

Execute the following command:

• When installing HDLM from the DVD-ROM

# /

directory-in-which-the-DVD-ROM-is-mounted

/installux.sh

# installp -aXgd

/directory-in-which-the-DVD-ROM-is-mounted

HDLM_AIX all

• When installing HDLM from the directory to which the DVD-ROM was

copied

# /

directory-copied-from-DVD-ROM

/installux.sh

# installp -aXgd /

directory-copied-from-DVD-ROM

/HDLM_AIX all

Even though a message asking you to restart the host is displayed during

installation, you do not have to restart the host.
If the

KAPL09172-E

message is displayed, the hdisk for the device that is

managed by HDLM still remains. Re-execute the procedure starting from step 5.
During installation, the

KAPL09241-W

message might be output. In this case,
