definition file (/kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf) the utility adds an entry (that is,
a definition) to the definition of the LU for which the path has been added. If any
path has been deleted, the entry (definition) is deleted from the definition of the
affected LU. Whether a path is added or deleted, existing instance numbers are
inherited unless a new HDLM driver configuration definition file (
/kernel/
drv/dlmfdrv.conf
) file is created.
• If the
dlmsetconf utility finds any storage systems connected to a newly added
HBA, in the HDLM nexus driver configuration definition file (
/kernel/drv/
dlmndrv.conf
) the utility adds the entry (definition) for the new HBA. Even
when an HBA, to which one of the Hitachi storage systems is connected, is
deleted, the entry (definition) remains. Unless a new HDLM nexus driver
configuration definition file (
/kernel/drv/dlmndrv.conf) is created, the
existing instance numbers are inherited, and the entry is not deleted.
• If no configuration definition files (
/kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf and /
kernel/drv/dlmndrv.conf
) are found, the configuration definition files (/
kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf
and /kernel/drv/dlmndrv.conf) are
created regardless of whether or not the
-r parameter is specified.
• If an LU is deleted, you must delete the logical device files of the HDLM devices
corresponding to the deleted LU, which are stored in the
/dev/dsk or /dev/
rdsk
directory, before executing the dlmsetconf utility. If the dlmsetconf
utility is executed before the logical device files of the HDLM devices
corresponding to the deleted LU are deleted, then the
format command might
incorrectly display the logical device file name of an HDLM device
corresponding to the deleted LU, for the newly recognized LU.
• When using SDS or SVM and executing the
dlmsetconf utility after making
changes in the path configuration, you must not specify the
-r parameter. If you
do so, the metadevices and volumes might be unavailable.
• Executing the
dlmsetconf utility with the -u parameter specified does not
update the
unconf property in the HDLM driver configuration definition file (/
kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf
) if no change is made to the HDLM-managed
devices. After the reconfiguration option is specified to restart the host, the
HDLM driver configuration definition file (
/kernel/drv/dlmfdrv.conf)
that was updated takes effect in the system.
• If you want HDLM to manage a device that is not currently managing, comment
out the LDEV line (add a hash mark (#) at the beginning of the line) of the
definitions for the desired LU in the HDLM driver unconfiguration definition file
(/opt/DynamicLinkManager/config/dlmfdrv.unconf), specify the
reconfiguration option, and then restart the host.
• When you specify that a device is, or is not, to be managed by HDLM, edit the
HDLM driver unconfiguration definition file
(/opt/DynamicLinkManager/
config/dlmfdrv.unconf
) to execute the dlmsetconf utility with the -u
