4.6 Reconfiguring the HDLM operating environment
This section describes the procedures for changing an LU and a path configuration.
Using the Windows plug-and-play functionality, which is called a dynamic reconfiguration
functionality, you can add an LU and a path when the host installing HDLM is running.
4.6.1 Setting Up an Added LU and Path as an HDLM Management-Target
This subsection explains the procedure for setting up an added LU and path as an HDLM
management-target.
When using HDLM, you need to write a signature, create partitions, and perform formatting
for an added LU.
4.6.1.1 Setting up an Added LU as an HDLM Management-Target
When MSCS is not used
1. Add an LU.
Some storage systems need to be restarted. Follow the manuals for the storage system.
2. Display Disk Manager.
3. If the LU is not displayed in the Disk Management window, perform the following
operations to add the LU as an HDLM management-target.
– In the Device Manager window of Windows, select Disk drives and then click Scan
for hardware changes.
– In the Disk Management window of Windows, click Rescan Disks.
4. Use the dlnkmgr view -path command or the HDLM GUI to confirm that the PathID
has been added.
