• If you want to use HDLM in a client partition to which a virtual HBA is
applied by using the virtual I/O server NPIV functionality, set the NPIV
option to on. If the option is not set to on, HDLM might not be able to
recognize a path that goes through the virtual HBA.
To set the NPIV option, execute the dlmodmset utility. For details on this
utility, see dlmodmset Utility for Setting the HDLM Execution Environment
ODM on page 7-20 .

Execute the following command to reconfigure the HDLM device:
# cfgmgr
When the NPIV option is set to on, HBA adapter number and bus number

The view operation parameters for which the above changes are to be
applied are as follows:
¢
-path parameter (displays path information)
¢ -lu parameter (displays LU information)
¢
-hba parameter (displays HBA port information)
For details on the view operations, see view (Displays Information) on
page 6-32 .
