If the license has expired, prepare the license key or license key file.
If the license has not expired, proceed to step 15.

¢

When only the license key has been provided
Create the /var/DLM directory, and then, in this directory, create the

license key file (dlm.lic_key). The following shows an example when

the license key is 123456789ABCDEF:
# mkdir /var/DLM
# echo "123456789ABCDEF" > /var/DLM/dlm.lic_key

¢

When the license key file has been provided
Store the license key file directly under the /var/tmp/ directory by

using the hdlm_license name.
/var/tmp/hdlm_license

Note that the hdlm_license and dlm.lic_key files are deleted after

installation finishes successfully.

copied
# /directory-copied-from-DVD-ROM/installux.sh
or
# installp -aXgd /directory-copied-from-DVD-ROM/HDLM_AIX all

Even though a message asking you to restart the host is displayed during

installation, you do not have to restart the host.
If you execute the dlmrmdev utility without the -e parameter specified at

step 12 and then the KAPL09172-E message is displayed, the hdisk for the

device that is managed by HDLM still remains.
If you execute the dlmrmdev utility with the -e parameter specified at

step 12 and then the KAPL09172-E message is displayed, the hdisk for the

device that is managed by HDLM still remains, and its status is
Available. Re-execute the procedure in step 12.
If an upgrade installation ends with an error, HDLM might be removed. In

this case, proceed to step 19.
