# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr set -pchk on -intvl 10

To enable path health checking, specify on. Specify off otherwise. When you

specify on, you can use the -intvl parameter to specify the checking

interval. The value that was specified previously will be applied if the

checking interval is not specified. For example, specify the path health check

as off after specifying the checking interval as 15 minutes and executing.

Then, when executing after specifying the path health check as on without

specifying the checking interval, the 15 minutes that were specified

previously will be applied again.

Setting Up the Automatic Failback Function

When intermittent error monitoring is enabled and the number of error

occurrences is 2 or more, the following condition must be satisfied.

error-monitoring-interval >= checking-interval-for-automatic-

failbacks x number-of-times-an-error-is-to-occur-during-intermittent-

error-monitoring

If this condition is not satisfied, an error will occur and the warning message

KAPL01080-W will be output.

If this happens, change any of the following settings: the checking interval

for automatic failbacks, the intermittent error-monitoring interval, or the

number of times that the error needs to occur.

If you set the number of times that the error needs to occur to 1, the above

condition does not need to be satisfied.

The following is an example of using a command to enable automatic

failback:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr set -afb on -intvl 10

To enable automatic failback, specify on. Specify off otherwise. When you

specify on, you can use the -intvl parameter to specify the checking interval

can be specified with the -intvl parameter when on is specified. The value

that was specified previously will be applied if the checking interval is not

specified. For example, specify auto failback as off after specifying the

checking interval to five minutes and executing. Then, when executing after

specifying auto failback as on without specifying the checking interval, the

five minutes that were specified previously will be applied again.

Setting Up Intermittent Error Monitoring

Intermittent error monitoring is specifiable only when the automatic failback

function is enabled. To prevent an intermittent error from reducing I/O

performance, we recommend that you monitor intermittent errors when

automatic failback is enabled.
