- -gad
The non-preferred path option that is set to the paths to global-active device pair volumes is applied to the HDLM path attribute. A path for which the non-preferred path option is set becomes a non-owner path, and a path for which the non-preferred path option is not set becomes an owner path.
If you specify the -gad parameter for the refresh operation, make sure the statuses of all paths to global-active device pair volumes are Online.
If you restart the host, the settings at the time of restart are applied to the HDLM path attribute.
- Example
To apply the attribute of a path to a global-active device volume:
