(1) Changing the Status of Paths to Online
To change the status of paths to online:
1.
Check the current status of the paths.
To change the status of the path for each HBA port, CHA port, or path to online,
first check the path name or AutoPATH_ID.
The following example shows how to execute the command:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path
To change the path status to online by specifying a host device name, first check
the host device name for the path and the OS management path ID.
The following example shows how to execute the command:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -lu
2. To change the status of paths to online, execute the
dlnkmgr
command's
online
operation.
The paths to be placed online can be specified by using an HBA port, CHA port,
single path, or host device. For details on how to specify paths, see 6.5 online
(Places Paths Online).
For example, if you want to place all the paths that pass through a specific HBA
port online, execute the
dlnkmgr
command's
online
operation with the
-hba
parameter specified. The following shows an example in which the command is
executed:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr online -hba 01.01
KAPL01057-I All the paths which pass the specified HBA will
be changed to the Online status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01061-I 3 path(s) were successfully placed Online; 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = online
#
3. Check to see if the statuses of all the applicable paths have changed.
The following example shows how to execute the command:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path
