This step enables you to keep the correspondence between LUs and the
logical device file names for SCSI devices once removal is complete.
3. Cancel HDLM device registration in an application.
An application uses an HDLM device when accessing an LU, so after HDLM
is removed, the application cannot use the same HDLM device to access
that LU. If an HDLM-managed device is registered in an application
(including cluster software, but excluding volume management software),
cancel registration of the HDLM device.

If HDLM devices are registered in volume management software, cancel
the registration.

Device Settings on page 3-216.
