HP XP Racks - Manual (Page 230)

target AutoPATH_ID is 000000, enter 000000 or 0 for the parameter
value.
AutoPATH_IDs are re-assigned every time the host is restarted. When you
want to add a new LU without restarting the host, AutoPATH_IDs are re-
assigned to each path of the LU when you execute the cfgmgr command.
Always make sure that you use the view operation to find the current
AutoPATH_ID of the target path, before executing the online operation.
Example
The following example shows how to place online the paths connected
to the CHA port 0A. In this example, a path whose AutoPATH_ID is
000002 is connected to the target CHA port.
When the confirmation message is displayed, the user enters y to
continue, or n to cancel the operation.
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr online -cha -pathid
000002
KAPL01057-I All the paths which pass the specified CHA port
will be changed to the Online status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01061-I 2 path(s) were successfully placed Online; 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = online
#
-chaid CHA-port-ID
Use this parameter to place online, at one time, all paths that pass
through a specific CHA port. The command will place online all paths
connected to the CHA port that has the specified CHA-port-ID. Paths that
pass through a specific CHA port on a storage system recognized by the
operating system will be online. If there are multiple physical CHA ports
that correspond to the CHA-port-ID, use -cha -pathid AutoPATH_ID to
place the desired paths online. To display the CHA port IDs, execute the
following view operation:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -cha
For details about how to execute the view operation to display the CHA
port IDs, see To Display CHA Port Information on page 6-71 in
Parameters on page 6-36 .
Example
The following example shows how to place online all paths connected
to the CHA port whose CHA-port-ID is 00001.
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr offline -chaid 00001
KAPL01104-I All the paths which pass the specified CHA port
will be changed to the Online status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01061-I 15 path(s) were successfully placed Online; 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = online
#
-pathid AutoPATH_ID
Use this parameter to place a single path online.
