To enable intermittent error monitoring, set it to on. Otherwise, set it to off.

When on is specified, you can use the -intvl and -iemnum parameters to

specify intermittent error conditions (the conditions used by the system to

determine whether an intermittent error is occurring). 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:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr set -dpc on -pathid 000001 -lu

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/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 the Error Log Collection Level

The error log (the HDLM manager log (dlmmgrn.log (n indicates a file

number from 1 to 16))) collection level can be set.

The following table lists and describes the values for the error log collection

level setting.

Table 3-27 Values for the error log collection level setting

Value

Description

0

No error logs are collected.

1

All information for errors of the "Error" level or higher is collected.

2

All information for errors of the "Warning" level or higher is collected.

3

All information for errors of the "Information" level or higher is collected.

4

All information for errors of the "Information" level or higher (including

maintenance information) is collected.

If an error occurs, you might have to change the collection level to 1 or

higher to collect any log information.
