Restore the configuration file to its state before the upgrade installation was
performed. See steps 21 to 37 in 3.7.6 Upgrade Installation in an Environment
Where a Logical Volume (LVM2) on an HDLM Device Is Used as a Boot Disk.
After completing the above procedure, you can perform an upgrade installation of
HDLM in a multi-path boot disk environment that uses a logical volume (LVM2) on
an HDLM device.
3.7.3 Settings for Using an HDLM Device as a Boot Disk
This subsection describes how to perform a new installation of HDLM in a single-path
boot disk environment that uses a SCSI device and how to set up the environment.
Note that if the settings are incorrect, the OS might not start. For details about what
action to take if the OS cannot be started from an HDLM device, see
3.7.7 Countermeasures for Unsuccessful Startup of the OS from an HDLM Device.
The name of the boot loader configuration file used in these procedures differs
depending on the boot loader and OS. The names of the boot loader configuration files
are listed in Table 3-53: Names of Boot Loader Configuration Files.

To install HDLM in a boot disk environment that uses a SCSI device, and set up the
environment:
1.
Log in to Linux as a user with root permissions.
2. If the OS is SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 SP3 or later, specify
multipath=off
in the boot loader configuration file.
Make sure that
multipath=off
has been set in the
kernel
line of the boot
loader configuration file. The following example shows how to specify
multipath=off
:
• When ELILO is used as the boot loader:
:
Boot loader Configuration file name
GRUB For Red Hat Enterprise Linux
/etc/grub.conf
For SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 or SUSE LINUX
Enterprise Server 11
/boot/grub/menu.lst
LILO
