3. Creating an HDLM Environment

3.22 Settings for Automatic Mounting

If you specify the name of a logical device file of an HDLM device at host startup, an

HDLM-managed device is automatically mounted in the same way as if you had

specified the name of a logical device file of a SCSI device. To mount an

HDLM-managed device automatically, you need to edit the

/etc/fstab

file. In this

file, you can specify the name of the logical device file of the SCSI device and the

mount point of its disk. After this file has been created, the specified HDLM-managed

device is mounted automatically when Linux is started. The Linux functionality that

adds

LABEL=

to a SCSI device is not supported in HDLM. Do not use this

functionality.
The following subsections describe the tasks that are required for using HDLM.

3.22.1 Setting the HDLM Device for the First Time

To mount an HDLM-managed device automatically by setting a new HDLM device:
1.

Identify the name of the logical device file of the HDLM device to be mounted

automatically.
Execute the

view

operation of the HDLM command, and identify the applicable

name of the logical device file of the HDLM and SCSI devices. For details on the

view

operation, see 6.7 view (Displays Information). The following is an actual

example.
