(2) Changing the Status of Paths to Offline(C)
To change the status of paths to
Offline(C)
:
1. Check the current status of the paths.
To change the status of the path for each HBA port, CHA port, or path to
Offline(C), first check the path name or AutoPATH_ID.
To change the path status to Offline(C) by specifying a host device name, first
check the host device name for the path and the OS management path ID.
The following example shows how to execute the command:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path
The following example shows how to execute the command:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -lu
2. To change the status of paths to
Offline(C)
, execute the
dlnkmgr
command's
offline
operation.
The paths to be placed offline can be specified by using an HBA port, CHA port,
single path, or host device. For details on specifying paths, see 6.4 offline (Places
Paths Offline).
For example, if you want to place all the paths that pass through a specific HBA
port offline, execute the
dlnkmgr
command's
offline
operation with the
-hba
parameter specified. The following shows an example in which the command is
executed:
# /usr/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr offline -hba 01.01
KAPL01055-I All the paths which pass the specified CHA port
will be changed to the Offline(C) status. Is this OK? [y/n]:y
KAPL01056-I If you are sure that there would be no problem
when all the paths which pass the specified HBA are placed
in the Offline(C) status, enter y. Otherwise, enter n. [y/
n]:y
KAPL01061-I 3 path(s) were successfully placed Offline(C); 0
path(s) were not. Operation name = offline
#
3. Check to see if the statuses of all the applicable paths have changed.
The following example shows how to execute the command:
