Reconfigure the HDLM device. If HDLM devices and virtual target devices

are mapped on the virtual I/O server, go to step 3. If HDLM devices are

not mapped as virtual target devices on the virtual I/O server, and if you

want to automatically perform processes required for the reconfiguration,

such as unmounting the file system and changing the volume group

statuses, go to step 9. To manually perform these processes, go to step

10.

On the virtual I/O server, remove the mapping between HDLM devices

and virtual target devices.
To inherit the hdisk configuration of the virtual I/O client, inherit the

mapping between virtual target devices and HDLM devices.

¢

To inherit the mapping between virtual target devices and HDLM

devices:
$ rmdev -dev virtual-target-device-name -ucfg

¢

To prevent inheritance of the mapping between virtual target devices

and HDLM devices:
$ rmdev -dev virtual-target-device-name
