Changing the status of paths to Online

To change the status of paths to online:

1. Check the current status of the paths.

   To place paths online by specifying an HBA port, CHA port, or single path check the path name or PATH_ID used to manage the path.

   The following example shows how to execute the command:

   # /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path

   To place paths online by specifying a SCSI device name, check the SCSI device name of the path.

   The following shows an example of executing the command:

   # /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -lu

2. To change the status of paths to Online, execute the dlnkmgr command's online operation.

   The paths to be placed Online can be specified by using an HBA port, CHA port, or single path. Instead of specifying a path, you can also specify a SCSI device name. For details on how to specify paths, see online (places paths online).

   For example, if you want to place all the paths that pass through a specific HBA port online, execute the dlnkmgr command's online operation with the -hba parameter specified. The following is an example of executing the command:

   # /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
   #

3. Check to see if the statuses of all the applicable paths have changed.

   The following is an example of executing the command:

   # /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr view -path
