Displays the format of the offline operation.

Example

The following example shows how to display the format of the offline operation:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr offline -help
offline:
  Format
    dlnkmgr offline [-path] -hba HBAPortNumber.BusNumber [-s]
    dlnkmgr offline [-path] -cha -pathid AutoPATH_ID [-s]
    dlnkmgr offline [-path] -pathid AutoPATH_ID [-s]
    dlnkmgr offline [-path] -device SCSI_Device_Name [-s]
Valid value
    AutoPATH_ID     { 000000 - 999999 }(Decimal)

Reference

Using the view operation together with standard UNIX commands enables you to filter the path information listed for a specific HBA port or CHA port. For details about the view operation, see COM_MNL_VIEW_(DISPLAYS_INFORMATION)=GUID-311C4B1B-E8E6-4963-9C3C-6D33AD0261DD=3=EN=.html.

We recommend that you use the following command and verify the information on the target paths before you execute the offline operation to place offline all the paths connected to a specific HBA port or CHA port.

Example 1

The following example shows how to filter and display the information on all paths that pass through the HBA port whose host port number is 0004 and bus number is 0000:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path | grep 0004.0000

The above command will display information on all the paths that pass through the specified HBA port.

Example 2

The following example shows how to filter and display the information on all the paths that pass through the channel adapter port 1B of the VSP One B20:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path -stname | find "VSP_One_Block" | find "1B"

The above command will display information pertaining to only those paths that pass through the specified channel adapter port.
