Parameters

-d output-directory-name

Specifies the name of the directory to which the configuration definition

file created by the dlmsetconf utility is to be output. This directory must

be specified as an absolute path. You cannot specify multi-byte

characters. If output-directory-name is omitted, the configuration

definition file will be created in the /kernel/drv directory. Create the

output directory before you execute the utility.

-c

Specify this parameter to check the integrity of the storage-system-

migration definition file used when the -t parameter is specified. If the -c

parameter is specified, the utility reads the file, compares the existing
dlmfdrv.conf and the list of physical paths (storage system information)

in the destination system against the information that was read from the

file. The utility then outputs the comparison results to a file (/opt/
DynamicLinkManager/config/dlmfdrv.conf_check). The utility does not

create any configuration definition files.

-r

Specify this parameter to invalidate the definition of an existing

configuration definition file to create a new configuration definition file

and an HDLM driver unconfiguration definition file. When this parameter is

omitted, definition information from the existing configuration definition

file and HDLM driver unconfiguration definition file is inherited, the

information on the changed configuration is added to and/or deleted from

the definitions in the HDLM driver configuration definition file (/
kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf), and the information on the changed

configuration is added to the definitions in the HDLM nexus driver

configuration definition file (/kernel/drv/dlmndrv.conf).
Do not specify the -r parameter when SDS or SVM is used. A change in

instance numbers (that is, the minor numbers for HDLM devices) due to

HDLM device reconfiguration will make metadevices and volumes

unavailable. If the -r parameter is not used, the instance numbers

defined in the existing configuration definition files are retained, and the

metadevices and volumes continue to be available even though the

configuration of the storage system has been modified.

Note

When the reconfiguration option is specified to restart the host after

executing the dlmsetconf utility with the -r parameter specified, a

new logical device file might be created. If a new logical device file is

created, delete the old logical device file.

-u

Depending on the contents of the HDLM driver unconfiguration definition

file (/opt/DynamicLinkManager/config/dlmfdrv.unconf) that defines

the LU you want to remove from HDLM management, in the existing

entries of the HDLM driver configuration definition file (/kernel/drv/
dlmfdrv.conf), only the attribute value that specifies whether or not the
