Parameters
To place paths Online
-path
Indicates that the target of the operation is a path managed by HDLM.
This parameter is optional because online is always used for paths, so it
is assumed.
Make sure that you specify the path to be taken online by using the -hba,
-cha, -pathid, or -device parameter. If you do not specify any of these
parameters, the command will place all the offline paths online. If there is
a path that cannot be placed online, a message asking whether you would
like to continue processing will be displayed. To ignore the offline path
that cannot be placed online and to continue processing, enter y. To stop
the processing, enter n.
-hba host-port-number.bus-number
Use this parameter to place online, at one time, all the paths that pass
through a specific HBA port. The command will place online all the paths
connected to the HBA port that has the specified host port number and
bus number.
Specify the host port number and bus number of the target HBA port: the
numbers are found in the PathName field displayed using the view
operation. Enter a period between these two parameter values. For
details about the view operation, see
view (Displays Information) on page
6-31.
Example
The following example shows how to place online all paths connected
to an HBA port whose host port number is 0010 and bus number is
0000:
When the confirmation message is displayed, the user enters y to
continue, or n to cancel the operation.
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr online -hba 0010.0000
KAPL01057-I All the paths which pass the specified HBA will
be changed to the Online status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01061-I 3 path(s) were successfully placed Online; 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = online
#
-cha -pathid AutoPATH_ID
Use this parameter to simultaneously place online all paths that pass
through a specific CHA port. The command will place online all paths that
pass through the CHA port in the path specified by the -pathid
parameter. Paths that pass through a specific physical CHA port on a
physical storage system will be online.
Specify the current AutoPATH_ID of the target path, which is displayed by
using the view operation. For details about the view operation, see
