HP XP Racks - Manual (Page 223)

This parameter is optional because offline is always used for paths, so it
is assumed.
Make sure that you specify the paths to be placed offline by using the -
hba, -hbaid, -cha, -chaid, or -pathid parameter, or the -hdev and -
ospathid parameters.
-hba HBA-adapter-number.bus-number
Or
-hba adapter-type.adapter-number
Use this parameter to place offline, at one time, all the paths that pass
through a specific HBA port. The command will place offline all the paths
connected to the HBA port that has the specified HBA-adapter-
number.bus-number or adapter-type.adapter-number.
Specify the HBA adapter number and bus number, or adapter type and
adapter number, of the target HBA port: the numbers are found in the
PathName field displayed using the view operation. Enter a period
between these two parameter values. For details about the view
operation, see view (Displays Information) on page 6-34 . The HBA-
adapter-number.bus-number and adapter-type.adapter-number strings
are case-sensitive.
Example
The following example shows how to place offline all paths connected
to the HBA port whose HBA adapter number is 01 and bus number is
01.
When the confirmation message is displayed, the user enters y to
continue, or n to cancel the operation.
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr offline -hba 01.01
KAPL01055-I All the paths which pass the specified HBA will
be changed to the Offline(C) status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01056-I If you are sure that there would be no problem
when all the paths which pass the specified HBA are placed in
the Offline(C) status, enter y. Otherwise, enter n. [y/n]:y
KAPL01061-I 3 path(s) were successfully placed Offline(C); 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = offline
#
-hbaid HBA-port-ID
Use this parameter to place offline, at one time, all paths that pass
through a specific HBA port. The command will place offline all paths
connected to the HBA port that has the specified HBA-port-ID. To display
the HBA port IDs, execute the following view operation:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -hba
For details about how to execute the view operation to display the HBA
port IDs, see To Display HBA Port Information on page 6-70 in
Parameters on page 6-36 .
