This example uses the existing dlmfdrv.conf content to configure the

HDLM devices.

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmstart -t

Note

To reconfigure HDLM devices from HDLM version 7.6.0 or earlier, execute

the dlmsetconf utility and then restart the host. If you execute the
dlmstart utility, an error occurs. If this happens, restart the host to

reconfigure the HDLM devices.

If VxVM is installed on the host, do not execute the dlmstart utility.

Instead, perform the following steps to configure the HDLM devices:

¢

Execute the following dlmsetconf utility:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmsetconf

¢

To disable devices in VxVM, follow the procedure outlined in

Removing

Devices from VxVM on a Controller Basis on page 3-162

or

Removing

Devices From VxVM on a Path Basis on page 3-166

of

Removing

Devices from VxVM on page 3-160

.

¢

To activate the settings and to make the host recognize HDLM

devices, restart the host with the reconfiguration option specified.
Execute one the following commands:

# reboot -- -r

At the ok prompt, execute the following:

boot -r

If HDLM devices are used in a cluster (such as VCS or Sun Cluster (Oracle

Solaris Cluster)), do not execute the dlmstart utility. Instead, follow the

procedure outlined in

Changing the Configuration by Restarting the Host

on page 4-37

of

Configuration Changes Such as Deleting a Logical Unit on

page 4-36

.

If HDLM devices are used in ZFS or in SVM, see the procedure outlined in

Changing the Configuration by Restarting the Host on page 4-37

of

Configuration Changes Such as Deleting a Logical Unit on page 4-36

.

Then, stop the use of HDLM devices before executing the dlmstart utility.

The dlmvxexclude Utility for Assisting Creation of the VxVM

Configuration File

This utility outputs the file (vxvm_exclude.txt) having the same format as

the VxVM management target exclusion file (/etc/vx/vxvm.exclude)that

matches the definition in the HDLM driver configuration definition file (/
kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf) to the directory specified by the -d parameter. If

the -d parameter is not specified, the dlmvxexclude utility for assisting

creation of the VxVM configuration file outputs the contents of the file to the

standard output.
