4. HDLM Operation

# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path

If you deleted all devices, check that the following message appears:


KAPL01019-W The target path was not found. Operation name =
view

If you deleted a specific device, check that the deleted device (hdisk name) is no

longer displayed.

(3) Changing an HDLM Management-Target Device

Note

If you execute the

chdev

command while a path is in error status, that path will

be deleted. In such a case, first recover from the path error, then re-execute the

cfgmgr

command, and finally perform the following steps:

1.

Inactivate the volume group used by HDLM.


# varyoffvg

volume-group-name

2.

Execute the

chdev

command to change attributes.

The following example changes the queue depth and timeout value:


# chdev -l

hdisk-name

-a queue_depth=8 -a rw_timeout=60

3.

Inactivate the volume group used by HDLM.

# varyonvg

volume-group-name

4.5.2 Changing hdisk attributes

hdisk attributes consist of default values and values actually used. When a new hdisk

is configured, or deleted and then reconfigured, the actual value for hdisk attributes is

set using the default values.
The HDLM default settings modification utility (

dlmchpdattr

) can be used to

change the default values.
Note:

To change attribute values for an individual hdisk, use the

chdev

command
