6. Execute the following command to make sure that the hdisk recognized as the
device to be managed by HDLM has been deleted:
# lsdev -Cc disk
7. Prepare the license key or license key file.
• When only the license key has been provided
Create the
/var/DLM directory, and then, in this directory, create the license
key file (
dlm.lic_key). The following shows an example when the license
key is
123456789ABCDEF:
# mkdir /var/DLM
# echo "123456789ABCDEF" > /var/DLM/dlm.lic_key
• When the license key file has been provided
Store the license key file directly under the
/var/tmp/ directory by using
the
hdlm_license name.
/var/tmp/hdlm_license
Note that the hdlm_license and dlm.lic_key files are deleted after
installation finishes successfully.
8. Execute the following command:
• When installing HDLM from the DVD-ROM
# /directory-in-which-the-DVD-ROM-is-mounted/installux.sh
or
# installp -aXgd /directory-in-which-the-DVD-ROM-is-mounted/
HDLM_AIX all
• When installing HDLM from the directory to which the DVD-ROM was
copied
# /directory-copied-from-DVD-ROM/installux.sh
or
# installp -aXgd /directory-copied-from-DVD-ROM/HDLM_AIX all
Even though a message asking you to restart the host is displayed during
installation, you do not have to restart the host.
If the

managed by HDLM still remains. Re-execute the procedure starting from step 5.
During installation, the
KAPL09241-W message might be output. In this case,
