Settings For Automatic Mounting; Setting The Hdlm Device For The First Time - Hitachi XP P9500 User Manual

Settings for Automatic Mounting

If you specify the name of a logical device file of an HDLM device at host
startup, an HDLM-managed device is automatically mounted in the same way
as if you had specified the name of a logical device file of a SCSI device. To
mount an HDLM-managed device automatically, you need to edit the /etc/
fstab file. In this file, you can specify the name of the logical device file of
the SCSI device and the mount point of its disk. After this file has been
created, the specified HDLM-managed device is mounted automatically when
Linux is started. The Linux functionality that adds LABEL= to a SCSI device is
not supported in HDLM. Do not use this functionality.
The following subsections describe the tasks that are required for using
HDLM.

Setting the HDLM Device for the First Time

HDLM device:

applicable name of the logical device file of the HDLM and SCSI devices.

In the example, the name of the logical device file of the HDLM device
that corresponds to /dev/sda can be identified as sddlmaa.
