Parameters

To place paths Offline

-path

Indicates that the target of the operation is a path managed by HDLM.
This parameter is optional because offline is always used for paths, so it

is assumed.
Make sure that you specify the paths to be taken offline by using the -
cha, -pathid, or -hbaportwwn parameter.

-cha -pathid AutoPATH_ID

Use this parameter to place offline, at one time, all the paths that pass

through a specific CHA port. The command will place offline all the paths

that pass through the CHA port to which the path with the specified

AutoPATH_ID is connected. Paths that pass through a physical CHA port

on a physical storage system will be offline.
Specify the current AutoPATH_ID of the target path, which is displayed by

using the view operation. For details about the view operation, see

view

(Displays Information) on page 6-25

. Leading zeros can be omitted

(000001 and 1 indicate the same AutoPATH_ID); however, when the

target AutoPATH_ID is 000000, enter 000000 or 0 for the parameter

value.
AutoPATH_IDs are re-assigned every time the host is restarted. Always

make sure that you use the view operation to find the current

AutoPATH_ID of the target path, before executing the offline operation.
