Setting Up HDLM

HDLM includes functions like the load balancing function, the automatic

failback function, the error logging function, the audit logging function, etc.

You can set up these functions by using the dlnkmgr command's set

operation or by using the Options window of the HDLM GUI. The following

subsections describe how to set up HDLM functions by using the HDLM

command’s set operation. For details about the Options window, see the

HDLM GUI Help.

Notes:

Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012 supports user account

control (UAC). As a result, to execute an HDLM command, perform one of

the following:

¢

Use the Administrator account to perform an operation.

¢

If you are not logged on as Administrator, execute the dlnkmgr

command by using the Administrator: Command Prompt window.

The HDLM GUI is unavailable when HDLM is installed in the Server Core

environment. Instead, use the HDLM command’s set operation to set up

the HDLM functions.
