dlmchname HDLM Device Name Replacement Utility

This utility changes an HDLM device name. This utility can also assign the

same HDLM device name to disks that are used by multiple hosts for the

same purpose and assign the same HDLM device name to a disk shared in a

cluster.

For details on how to change an HDLM device name, see

Changing an HDLM

device name on page 4-49

.

Format

/opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmchname [-f | -o]

Parameters

-f

Specify this parameter to change the name of an HDLM device that is

being used.
You must restart the host after the command is completed.

-o

Specify this parameter to output the correspondence between the current

iLUs and HDLM device names to the device name replacement definition

file (/etc/opt/DynamicLinkManager/dlmchname.conf).
The device name definition file is backed up for three generations

(including the current device name definition file).

Important

If you execute the dlmchname utility without specifying any parameters,

initial values (0) are set for all statistics (number of I/Os and number of I/

O errors) managed by HDLM.

If the -f parameter is not specified, the name of an HDLM device that is

being used cannot be changed.
