Check the

NPIV Option

line.

3.

Place in Offline (C) status the path that goes through the Fibre Channel switch to

be replaced.
Depending on the NPIV option setting for the

dlmodmset

utility checked in step

2, execute one of the following commands:

If the NPIV option is set to

off

:

Specify the HBA adapter number and bus number, and then execute the

command shown below. The following example shows how to place the path

in Offline (C) status when the path goes through an HBA whose HBA

adapter number is

08

and whose bus number is

11

:

# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr offline -hba 08.11

If the NPIV option is set to

on

:

Use the

fscsi

number found in step 1 to execute the command below. The

following example shows how to place the path in Offline (C) status when

the path goes through

fscsi

number

1

(

fscsi1

):

# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr offline -hba 00.01

4.

Execute the following command to delete the path that goes through the Fibre

Channel switch to be replaced:
Specify the device name (

fscsi

device) of the HBA connected to the Fibre

Channel switch that is to be replaced to delete the path (where n is the instance

number of the

fscsi

device).


# rmpath -p fscsi

n

-d

Because the

fscsi

number found in step 1 is

1

(

fscsi1

), the result is as follows:


# rmpath -p fscsi1 -d

5.

Execute the following command to get the name of the parent device:


# lsdev -C -l fscsin -F parent
