Note On Adding A Bladesymphony I/O Drawer - Hitachi XP P9500 User Manual

device(s) not in use (or, represented with a hyphen (-)) to release the
available name(s) to create an HDLM device file for the new LU.
Even if you add a path to an HDLM device that is not managed by HDLM and
restart the host, the HDLM device will not be managed by HDLM.
An AutoPATH_ID is allocated sequentially as the HDLM recognizes a SCSI
device during start up of the host. Therefore, an AutoPATH_ID for the same
path may change whenever the host starts.
If a different LU is allocated to the same path name, a new HDLM device will
be allocated to the newly allocated LU after restarting the host restarts. In
such case, the previous HDLM device is unregistered automatically.

Note on adding a BladeSymphony I/O drawer

When you restart the host after adding a BladeSymphony I/O drawer
you execute the HDLM-configuration definition utility (dlmcfgmgr -v), a
hyphen (-) might be displayed in the Device column of the execution results.
