Performing Device Manager System Operations 55
NOTE: If you log out of Command View XP AE Suite software that you launched using the link-and-launch
feature, you will also be logged out of Device Manager. If you then attempt a link-and-launch operation, try to
use the Java™ GUI, or open a report window, an error message displays. If you launched more than one
instance of Command View XP AE Suite software, make sure that no operations are in progress before
logging out.
5-7-1 Launching HDLM
HDLM for Sun™ Solaris™ and HDLM for IBM ® AIX ® manage access paths to storage for the StorageWorks XP
Disk Array subsystems. HDLM for Sun™ Solaris™ and HDLM for IBM ® AIX ® provide functions for distributing
workload across paths and switching to an alternate path if a failure occurs on the path in use. Networks
dedicated to data transfer, such as storage area networks (SANs), can use HDLM for Sun™ Solaris™ and
HDLM for IBM
® AIX ® to provide enhanced access to storage.
When a Device Manager agent and HDLM for Sun™ Solaris™ or HDLM for IBM ® AIX ® are installed on a
management-target host of Device Manager in Device Manager a Dynamic Link Manager button displays in
the Show Properties – Host Name subwindow for the host. For instructions on displaying the Show Properties
– Host Name subwindow for a host, see section
