HP Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager Software Licenses - Manual (Page 106)

Notes on Installation
• You cannot edit the HDLM driver configuration definition file (/
kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf). To change an HDLM-managed device to a
non-HDLM-managed device, use the HDLM device unconfiguration
function of the HDLM device. For details on the HDLM device
unconfiguration function, see Using the HDLM Device Unconfiguration
Function When Performing a New Installation of HDLM on page 3-72 or
Specifying Whether a Logical Unit Is To Be Managed by HDLM (When Not
Using Solaris Cluster) on page 4-48 .
• When you install HDLM, a device file dedicated to HDLM is created in
the /dev/dlm directory. Do not use this device file.
• Install any other applications after completing the HDLM environment
setup.
• If Hitachi Path Manager is installed on the host, remove it and restart the
host before installing HDLM. For details on removing Hitachi Path
Manager, see the Hitachi Path Manager manual.
• If you are using HDLM 05-00 or earlier, remove the program while
referring to Removing HDLM on page 3-184 , and then perform a new
installation.
• A license key is required to install HDLM.
• To update the license before upgrading or reinstalling HDLM, execute the
dlnkmgr command's set -lic operation. The license key specified in the
license key file or the type of input license key determines the expiration
of the license key. For details on license key types and the set operation,
see set (Sets Up the Operating Environment) on page 6-17 .
• When you install a license by specifying the set -lic operation, you must
execute one command at a time. If you execute multiple commands at
the same time, a core file might be created and a message might be
displayed.
If a message is output, execute the view -sys operation to make sure
that the license has been installed correctly.
• An upgrade installation of HDLM does not update the following files:
The existing information about the driver configuration and HDLM settings
is still preserved after the upgrade installation.

The HDLM driver configuration definition file (/kernel/drv/
dlmfdrv.conf)
¢
The HDLM nexus driver configuration definition file (/kernel/drv/
dlmndrv.conf)
¢
The HDLM function configuration file (/opt/DynamicLinkManager/
config/dlmmgr.xml)
¢
The HDLM driver unconfiguration definition file (/opt/
DynamicLinkManager/config/dlmfdrv.unconf)
However, if both the conditions listed below are satisfied, the HDLM driver
configuration definition file and the HDLM driver unconfiguration definition
file are updated:
