The following is an example of executing the dlmcfgmgr utility:

# /sbin/dlmcfgmgr -r

.

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 additional path configured in the above step 1 is

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

execute the dlmcfgmgr utility (dlmcfgmgr -v) to check if the number of

paths of the relevant HDLM device has increased.

# /sbin/dlmcfgmgr -v

Deleting an Existing LU

To delete an HDLM device that corresponds to an existing LU:

1

.

Stop all accesses to the relevant LU.

2

.

Use the management program of the storage system to cancel all of the

path allocations (that is, to delete the paths) to the relevant LU from

ports of the storage system.
For details on canceling path allocations (deleting paths), see the manual

provided with the storage system.

.

If you want to delete an HDLM device that corresponds to the LU without

restarting the host, perform steps 4 and 5. If you want to delete the LU

and restart the host, go to step 6.

4

.

Delete the SCSI device for the path whose allocation was cancelled in

step 2.
Since the host has not been restarted, the SCSI device for the path

whose allocation was cancelled in step 2 was not deleted. To delete the

SCSI device, you need to manually execute the command for deleting the

device shown in

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

4-38

.

5

.

Execute the HDLM-configuration definition utility (dlmcfgmgr -r).
Apply, to the HDLM device, the information about the SCSI device that

was deleted in step 4.
The following is an example of executing the dlmcfgmgr utility:

# /sbin/dlmcfgmgr -r

6
