b: Channel number (bus number)
c: Target ID
d: Lun (host LU number)
n: host port number
driver-name: qlaxxxx (driver name in use)

Example entries are shown below.

When adding a device by using a QLogic HBA driver in Red Hat

Enterprise Linux AS4/ES4:

# echo "scsi-qlascan" > /proc/scsi/qla2200/1

# cat /proc/scsi/qla2200/1

# echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 1 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi

4

.

Execute the HDLM-configuration definition utility (dlmcfgmgr -r).
Based on the SCSI device created in step 3, an HDLM device for the path

configured in step 1 is added.
The following is an example of executing the dlmcfgmgr utility:

# /sbin/dlmcfgmgr -r

5

.

Restart the host on which the HDLM is installed.
If you performed step 3 and step 4, the host does not have to be

restarted. Go to step 6.
While restarting, the HDLM device mapped with the path configured in the

above step 1 is added automatically.

6

.

Refer to /var/opt/DynamicLinkManager/log/dlmcfgmgr1.log or

execute the dlmcfgmgr utility (dlmcfgmgr -v) to check if an LU was

created with a new HDLM device name.
The following is an example of executing the dlmcfgmgr utility:

# /sbin/dlmcfgmgr -v

Adding a Path to an Existing LU

To add a path to an existing LU (HDLM device):

1

.

Use the management program of the storage system to configure an

additional path from an LU mapped with the relevant HDLM device to the

relevant host.
For more information on configuring an additional path, see the manual

provided with the storage system.

2

.

When you want to add a path to the LU without restarting the host,

perform step 3 and step 4. When you want to add a path to the 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, the SCSI device for the path that

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

the device shown in

Table 4-3 Adding or Deleting a SCSI Device on page

4-38

to manually create a SCSI device.
