Restoring the Path in Disconnected Status

This subsection describes how to restore the path to an HDLM device
that was in disconnected status (the cable was pulled out or broken).
1
Execute the HDLM-configuration definition utility (dlmcfgmgr -v) to check
.
while the path to the relevant HDLM device was in disconnected status.
The following are examples of executing the command:
# /sbin/dlmcfgmgr -v
If the SCSI device name mapped with the path to the relevant HDLM
device is represented with a hyphen (-), in the execution result, this
means that the path was in disconnected status.
2
Connect the cable.
.
If the cable is broken, replace it.
When the restart of the host is possible, go to step 3. When the restart of
the host is not possible, go to step 4.
3
Restart the host.
.
The SCSI device is recreated, and the status changes to online. Go to
step 6.
