This utility allows you to edit the /etc/fstab file and the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file, make changes to the boot loader configuration file, and create an HDLM boot disk environment by automatically creating an initial RAM disk image file for HDLM.Also, immediately after the HDLM boot disk environment has been configured by this utility, you can return to the original environment.

To execute this utility, all of the following conditions must be met:

  • The system disk is a storage system disk.

  • HDLM is installed.

  • Configuration of the HDLM device is complete.

Note

Do not turn off the power of the host machine during execution of the dlmbootstart utility. Also, do not turn off the power of the host machine after the dlmbootstart utility is forced to stop.

Note that if you turn off the power to the host machine, the OS might be unable to start. If you cannot start the OS, contact your HDLM vendor or maintenance company, and report the information that was collected by the DLMgetras utility.
