instead of the
dlmchpdattr
utility to change the values actually used. The
following explains how to use the
dlmchpdattr
utility to change default hdisk
values, and apply them as the actually used values.
If you execute the
dlmchpdattr
utility with the
-A
parameter specified, after the
default values are changed, hdisks will be automatically reconfigured. Note that even
though you can execute the utility without specifying the
-A
parameter to change the
default value, you have to manually reconfigure the hdisks.
To automatically reconfigure hdisks, perform the procedure in (1) Automatically
Performing hdisk Reconfiguration. To manually reconfigure hdisks, perform the
procedure in (2) Manually Performing hdisk Reconfiguration.
For details on the
dlmchpdattr
