B. Differences Between HDLM Version 5.9 or Later and Version 5.8.1 or Earlier

470

B.2 Simplifying the HDLM Environment Configuration and

Operation Procedures by Changes to the Logical Device Files

„

The logical device files that can be controlled by the HDLM driver have been

unified from HDLM devices (

dlmfdrv

n) to the hdisk provided by the OS.

Therefore, logical device files controlled by HDLM can be configured by AIX's

standard

cfgmgr

command.

Both the file that defines non-HDLM-managed disks (

/usr/

DynamicLinkManager/drv/dlmfdrv.unconf

) and the file that defines the

HDLM driver configuration (

/usr/DynamicLinkManager/drv/

dlmfdrv.conf

) are no longer used. After installing HDLM, all devices shown

in Devices that HDLM can manage in 2.1 Devices Managed by HDLM will be

managed. You cannot exclude physical volumes from HDLM-managed targets.
Accompanying these changes, the following deletions have been made from the

manual HiCommand Dynamic Link Manager User's Guide (for AIX(R))
