4.3.3.2 Changing the Status of a Path to Offline(C)
To change the status of a path to Offline(C):
1. Check the current status of the path. To change the status of the path for each HBA
port, channel adapter port, or path to Offline(C), check the path name or AutoPATH_ID.
The following example shows how to execute the command:
>dlnkmgr view -path
2. To change the status of the path to Offline(C), execute the dlnkmgr command's
offline operation. You can specify the paths you want to place online by specifying an
HBA port or channel adapter port to which the target paths are connected, or by
specifying a single path. However, you can specify the offline operation for a channel
adaptor port only when the HDLM management-target device is the Thunder 9200/9500V
series, Lightning 9900/9900V series, TagmaStore, and Universal Storage Platform V. For
details on how to specify a path, see section
7.4.
For example, if you want to place all paths that pass through a specific HBA port offline,
execute the dlnkmgr command's offline operation with the -hba parameter
specified. The following shows an example in which the command is executed:
>dlnkmgr offline -hba 1.1
KAPL01055-I All the paths which pass the specified HBA 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 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
>
3. Check the changed status of the path. The following example shows how to execute the
command:
>dlnkmgr view -path
