Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager Software Users Guide for VMWare

The following example shows how to place offline all the paths
connected to the CHA port 0A. In this example, a path whose
AutoPATH_ID is 000001 is connected to the target CHA port:
When the confirmation message is displayed, the user enters y to
continue, or n to cancel the operation.
PROMPT>dlnkmgr offline -cha -pathid 000001
KAPL01055-I All the paths which pass the specified CHA 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 CHA are placed in
the Offline(C) status, enter y. Otherwise, enter n. [y/n]:
KAPL01061-I 2 path(s) were successfully placed Offline(C); 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = offline
PROMPT>
-pathid AutoPATH_ID
Use this parameter to place a single path offline.
Specify the current AutoPATH_ID of the target path, which is displayed by
using the view operation. For details about the view operation, see
view
(Displays Information) on page 6-25. Leading zeros can be omitted
(000001 and 1 indicate the same AutoPATH_ID); however, when the
target AutoPATH_ID is 000000, enter 000000 or 0 for the parameter
value.
AutoPATH_IDs are re-assigned every time the host is restarted. Always
make sure that you use the view operation to find the current
AutoPATH_ID of the target path, before executing the offline operation.
-hbaportwwn HBA-port-WWN
Use this parameter to place offline all the paths connected to an HBA port
associated with a specific HBA port WWN. Only one set of values can be
specified for the -hbaportwwn parameter.
For HBA-port-WWN, specify the value of HBAPortWWN. The parameter is
not case sensitive.
To display HBAPortWWN and PathName, execute the view operation as
follows:
dlnkmgr view -path -hbaportwwn
For details on how to execute the view operation and display the HBA
port WWN and path name, see
To display path information on page 6-33
in Parameters (To display program information) on page 6-27.
Example
The following shows an example of placing offline the paths for which
the HBA port WWN is 10000000C93213BA while confirming command
operation.
PROMPT>dlnkmgr offline -path -hbaportwwn 10000000C93213BA
KAPL01052-I The currently selected paths will be changed to
