Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager Software Users Guide for Linux

If you are using a kernel that supports Xen, add the root device by using
the definition conventions for the boot loader configuration file.
13. Specify the settings so that the HDLM device is not configured when the
host starts.
Change hdlm_dracut=y defined in the /etc/opt/DynamicLinkManager/
hdlm.conf file to hdlm_dracut=n.
14. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, check hdlm_dracut defined in
the /etc/opt/DynamicLinkManager/hdlm.conf file.
If hdlm_dracut=y is written, change it to hdlm_dracut=n.
If hdlm_dracut=y is not written, go to step 16.
15. In initrd, specify the initial RAM disk image file for the SCSI device.
When an option that depends on the user environment is specified, be
careful not to delete the option.
Create the initial RAM disk image file for the SCSI device according to the
mkinitrd or dracut command documentation for the OS.
16. Specify the configuration that will be used for booting.

17. Shut down the host.
Execute the following command to shut down the host:
# shutdown -h now
18. Change the configuration from a multi-path configuration to a single-path
configuration.

in /boot.

boot loader:
