Status: You use the following four check boxes to select the status of the paths to be
displayed. By default, all check boxes are selected. When you clear a Status check box, the
Path List view narrows down the items displayed.
 Online path check box: When you select this check box, the Path List view displays
the paths that have the Online or Online(P) status.
 Offline path check box: When you select this check box, the Path List view displays
the paths that have the Offline(C) status.
 Offline (Error) path check box: When you select this check box, the Path List view
displays the paths that have the Offline(E) or Offline(P) status.
 Online (Error) path check box: When you select this check box, the Path List view
displays the paths that have the Online(E) or Online(EP) status.
Note that the Status settings remain in effect even when you click the Configuration tab
and switch to the Configuration view.
Online button: Clicking this button changes the status of a selected path (or paths) to
Online. When no path is displayed in the Path List view, or all the paths displayed in the
Path List view are in the Online status and no path is selected, the Online button is
displayed as inactive.
If you click this button without first selecting a path, or if you click this button after
selecting only a line for which no path information is displayed, the Path List view changes
the status of all paths that are not already Online to Online.
If you attempt to change the status of multiple paths to Online but the status of one of those
paths cannot be changed, the message KAPL02022-W appears. To ignore the path whose
status cannot be changed and to continue processing, click the OK button. To stop
processing, click the Cancel button.
Offline button: Clicking this button changes the status of a selected path (or paths) to
Offline(C). In a cluster configuration, if a user selects a path whose status is Online and
clicks the Offline button during reserve processing, the status of the selected path switches
to Online(P), which indicates that the offline processing is in a waiting-to-execute state.
Despite this change in status, however, the icon shown in the Status column does not
change. After the reserve processing finishes and the offline processing executes, the path
status will switch to Offline(C); however, the path information displayed in the Path List
view will not be automatically updated. To display the most recent path status, click the
Refresh button.
When no path is displayed in the Path List view, or no path is selected, the Offline button is
displayed as inactive. If you attempt to change the status of multiple paths to Offline(C) but
one of those paths cannot be changed, the message KAPL02023-W appears. To ignore the
path whose status cannot be changed and to continue processing, click the OK button. To
stop processing, click the Cancel button.
Clear Data button: This button sets the I/O count and the number of I/O errors to 0 for all
paths managed by HDLM.
