on specifies that intermittent error monitoring is to be used. To disable

intermittent error monitoring, specify off. When you set this parameter

to on, you can specify intermittent error conditions by using the -intvl

and -iemnum parameters. Specify the monitoring interval for an

intermittent error in the -intvl parameter, and the number of times that

the error needs to occur in the -iemnum parameter. When these

parameters are omitted, the default values of 30 and 3 are used,

respectively.

Setting Up Dynamic I/O Path Control

To prevent degrading of I/O performance, this function dynamically switches

the output controllers for HDLM, following the switching of controllers

performed by the storage system.

The dynamic I/O path control function can be set for each storage system or

LU. The checking interval for reviewing the switching status information can

also be set in order to properly follow the switching of controllers performed

by the storage system.

The following is an example of setting the dynamic I/O path control function:

dlnkmgr set -dpc on -pathid 000001 -lu

dlnkmgr set -dpcintvl 10

Specify "on" to enable the dynamic I/O path control function, or "off" to

disable the function. For the -pathid parameter, specify an LU, or the ID of a

path connected to the storage system. For the -dpcintvl parameter, specify

the checking interval (in minutes) for reviewing the information about the

switching of controllers performed by the storage system.

Setting Up the LU Deletion Function

For details on the LU deletion function, see

The following table lists values and descriptions for the LU deletion function.

operation

Description

off

The LU is not removed from HDLM-management even if the error

occurs on all the paths to the LU, all the paths to the LU are

disconnected, or the LU is deleted. The status of the paths is

either Offline(E) or Online(E). This operation is equal to the

operation in HDLM 05-01 or earlier. The off option is

recommended when you do not want to use the LU deletion

function and you want the system to operate as it did in HDLM

05-01 and earlier.

on

The LU is removed from HDLM-management when all the paths to

the LU are disconnected. However, if an Offline(C) path is
