3. Creating an HDLM Environment

15. Change the fc_err_recov setting of the parent device (fscsin) to

fast_fail.

# chdev -l fscsin -a fc_err_recov=fast_fail

16. Verify that the settings for the parent device (fscsin) are enabled.

Also, verify that the

fc_err_recov setting has been changed to fast_fail.

# lsattr -El fscsin

fc_err_recov fast_fail FC Fabric Event Error RECOVERY Policy

TRUE

17. Repeat steps 14 to 16 for each parent device (fscsin) being used.

18. Enable the defined parent device (

fscsin).

# cfgmgr

19. Execute the chdev command, as required, to change the attributes of the hdisk:

# chdev -l

hdisk-name -a queue_depth=8 -a rw_timeout=60

20. Execute one of the following commands, as required, to add /usr/

DynamicLinkManager/bin

to the PATH environment variable.

When using a Bourne shell or Korn shell:

# PATH=$PATH:/usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin

# export PATH

When using a C shell:

# set path=( $path /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin )

To simplify command execution, you can temporarily add the

PATH environment

variable. To execute HDLM commands or the HDLM utility without setting the

PATH environment variable, specify an absolute path to execute the commands.

21. Make sure that hdisks are available:

# lsdev -Cc disk

hdisk0 Available 1S-08-00-8,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive

hdisk1 Available 1S-08-00-9,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive

hdisk2 Available 1S-08-00-10,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
