(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. When you
want to add a new LU without restarting the host, AutoPATH_IDs are re-
assigned to each path of the LU when you execute the HDLM-
configuration definition utility (dlmcfgmgr). Always make sure that you
use the view operation to find the current AutoPATH_ID of the target
path, before executing the online operation.
Example
The following example shows how to place online the paths connected
to the CHA port 0A. In this example, a path whose AutoPATH_ID is
000002 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.
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr online -cha -pathid
000002
KAPL01057-I All the paths which pass the specified CHA port
will be changed to the Online status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01061-I 2 path(s) were successfully placed Online; 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = online
#
-pathid AutoPATH_ID
Use this parameter to place a single path 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

-device SCSI-device-name
Use this parameter to place online a path connected to the specified SCSI
device.
For SCSI-device-name, specify the value of Device displayed by
executing the view operation as follows:
# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -lu
For details on how to execute the view operation and display the SCSI
device name, see
To display LU information on page 6-54 in Parameters
(To display program information) on page 6-33. Only one case-sensitive
parameter value can be specified.
