Note

Before executing the dlmpr utility, make sure that the LU for which

persistent reservation will be cleared is not being accessed.
If you perform the following operation while both of the following

conditions exist, an error occurs when reservation-key is read, and
0x???????????????? is displayed.

Conditions

- Multiple paths are configured to the HDLM device.
- A persistent reservation has been set by the cluster software.

Operation

1. Clear persistent reservation, specifying the SCSI device.
2. Execute the dlmpr utility with the -k parameter specified to display

the PersistentReserve information for a SCSI device associated with a

different path.

If the above display error occurs, re-execute the dlmpr utility with the -k

parameter specified.

dlmsetopt Utility for Setting HDLM Driver Options

This utility changes the settings for the HDLM filter driver. Restart the host

machine to apply the changed settings. Note that you do not need to restart

the host machine every time you execute the dlmsetopt utility. If you

execute the dlmsetopt utility more than once, restart the host after you have

finished specifying all settings. Restarting the host enables all the changed

settings.

Format

/opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmsetopt {-r retrycount | -inqt

InquiryTimeout | -inqr InquiryRetry | -prsup ReserveStatus| -h}

Parameters

-r

Specify the number of retries when memory is allocated in the filter

driver. This memory is allocated for processing I/O requests from users. If

memory allocation fails, the system retries at intervals of 0.05 seconds. If

retrying for a long time results in I/O not being executed, set an

appropriate retry count. If that retry count is exceeded and memory

allocation fails, the KAPL05708-E message is output to syslog and to the

HDLM manager log file.

retrycount

Specify a numeric value from -1 to 2,147,483,646.
-1 : The system retries until memory is allocated. This is the initial

value of the system.
0 : The system does not retry.
