Changing the Status of Paths
This section explains how to change path statuses.
Changing the Status of Paths to Online
To change the status of paths to online:
1. Check the current status of the paths.
To place paths online by specifying a CHA port, single path, or HBA port
WWN, check the path name or PATH_ID used to manage the path.
The following example shows how to execute the command:
dlnkmgr -s host-name -u user-name -p password view -path
2. To change the status of paths to Online, execute the dlnkmgr command's
online operation.
The paths to be placed Online can be specified by using a CHA port,
single path, or HBA port WWN. For details on how to specify paths, see
online (Places Paths Online) on page 6-11.
For example, to place a specific path online, execute the HDLM
command's online operation with the -pathid parameter specified. The
following is an example of executing the command:
PROMPT>dlnkmgr -s host-name -u user-name -p password online -
pathid 000001
