Setting up the operating environment

To set up the HDLM operating environment, execute the dlnkmgr command's set operation. This operation allows you to set up the following functions:

• Load balancing

• Path health checking

• Automatic failback

• Intermittent error monitoring

• Displaying the physical storage system information

• Error log collection level

• Trace level

• Error log file size

• The number of error log files

• Trace file size

• The number of trace files

• Audit log data collection

• Audit log facility

• Number of times the same path can be used for load balancing

• Number of times the same path can be used for extended load balancing (sequential I/O)

• Number of times the same path can be used for extended load balancing (random I/O)

For details on how to set up each function, see set (sets up the operating environment).

For example, to set up the log level, execute the dlnkmgr command's set operation with the -ellv parameter specified. When the confirmation message is displayed, enter y to execute, or n to cancel the command.

The following is an example of executing the command:

# /opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlnkmgr set -ellv 1
KAPL01049-I Would you like to execute the operation? Operation name = set [y/n]: y
KAPL01001-I The HDLM command completed normally. Operation name = set, completion time = yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss
#
