Adding a New LU

To add a new LU (HDLM device) to the host on which the HDLM is

installed:

Use the management program of the storage system to allocate an LU,

which is not yet allocated to the relevant host, to a port of the storage

system that has a path to the relevant host and configure the path.
For more information on configuring the path, see the manual provided

with the storage system.

.

When you want to add an LU without restarting the host, perform step 3

and step 4. When you want to add an LU while restarting the host, go to

step 5.

3

.

Create a SCSI device for each path configured in step 1.
Since the host has not been restarted, a SCSI device for the LU that was

added in step 1 was not created. Execute the command for adding the

device shown in the following table to manually create a SCSI device.
