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) could not be
placed offline(C). Operation name = offline

To place offline, at one time, all paths that pass through a specific channel adapter port,
use -cha -pathid AutoPATH_ID. The command will place offline all paths that pass
through the channel adapter port to which the path with the specified AutoPATH_ID is
connected. You can specify this parameter only when the HDLM management-target device
is the Thunder 9200/9500V Series, Lightning 9900/9900V Series, TagmaStore, and Universal
Storage Platform V. Specify the current AutoPATH_ID of the target path, which is displayed
by using the view operation. For details about the view operation, see section
7.7. Leading
zeros can be omitted (000001 and 1 indicate the same AutoPATH_ID); however, when the
target AutoPATH_ID is 000000, enter 000000 or 0 for the parameter value. AutoPATH_IDs
are re-assigned every time the host is restarted. Always make sure that you use the view
operation to find the current AutoPATH_ID of the target path, before executing the
offline operation. The following example shows how to place offline all paths connected
to the channel adapter port 0A. In this example, a path whose AutoPATH_ID is 000001 is
connected to the target channel adapter port.
>dlnkmgr offline -cha -pathid 000001
KAPL01055-I All the paths which pass the specified CHA port 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 CHA
port are placed in the Offline(C) status, enter y. Otherwise,
enter n. [y/n]: y
KAPL01061-I 2 path(s) were successfully placed offline(C). 0 path(s) could not be
placed offline(C). Operation name = offline
>
To place a single path offline, use -pathid AutoPATH_ID. Specify the current
AutoPATH_ID of the target path, which is displayed by using the view operation. For details
about the view operation, see section
7.7. Leading zeros can be omitted(000001 and 1
indicate the same AutoPATH_ID); however, when the target AutoPATH_ID is 000000, enter
000000 or 0 for the parameter value. AutoPATH_IDs are re-assigned every time the host is
restarted. Always make sure that you use the view operation to find the current
AutoPATH_ID of the target path, before executing the offline operation.
To execute the command without displaying the message asking for confirmation of
command execution, use –s. For example, when you want to execute the command in a
shell script or batch file. The following example shows how to place a path, whose
AutoPATH_ID is 000001, offline without asking for confirmation of command execution from
the user.
>dlnkmgr offline -pathid 1 -s
KAPL01061-I 1 path(s) were successfully placed offline. 0 path(s) could not be placed
offline. Operation name = offline
