5.2 Changing IO Way of the Command Device for AIX

RAID Manager tries to use ioctl(DK_PASSTHRU) or SCSI_Path_thru as much as
possible, if it fails, changes to RAW_IO follows conventional ways. Even so, RAID Manager
may encounter to AIX FCP driver which does not support the ioctl(DK_PASSTHRU) fully in
the customer site. After this consideration, RAID Manager also supports by defining either
following environment variable or /HORCM/etc/USE_OLD_IOCTLfile(size=0) that uses
the RAW_IO forcibly.

For Example:
export USE_OLD_IOCTL=1

horcmstart.sh 10

HORCM/etc:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 11 11:12 USE_OLD_IOCT

-r--r--r-- 1 root sys 32651 Nov 10 20:02 horcm.conf

-r-xr--r-- 1 root sys 282713 Nov 10 20:02 horcmgr
