To Place Paths Online; Parameters - Hitachi XP P9500 User Manual

Parameters

To place paths Online

-path
Indicates that the target of the operation is a path managed by HDLM.
This parameter is optional because online is always used for paths, so it
is assumed.
Specify the paths to be taken online by using the -cha, -pathid, or -
hbaportwwn parameter. If you do not specify any of these parameters,
the command will place all the offline paths online. If there is a path that
cannot be placed online, a message asks whether you would like to
continue processing. To ignore the offline path that cannot be placed
online and to continue processing, enter y. To stop the processing, enter
n.
-cha -pathid AutoPATH_ID
Use this parameter to place online, at one time, all the paths that pass
through a specific CHA port. The command will place online all the paths
that pass through the CHA port to which the path with the specified
AutoPATH_ID is connected.
Specify the current AutoPATH_ID of the target path, which is displayed by
using the view operation. For details about the view operation, see
(Displays Information) on page
(000001 and 1 indicate the same AutoPATH_ID); however, when the
target AutoPATH_ID is 000000, enter 000000 or 0 for the parameter
value.
AutoPATH_IDs are re-assigned every time the host is restarted. Always
make sure that you use the view operation to find the current
AutoPATH_ID of the target path, before executing the online operation.
Example
-pathid AutoPATH_ID
Use this parameter to place a single path online.
Specify the current AutoPATH_ID of the target path, which is displayed by
using the view operation. For details about the view operation, see
(Displays Information) on page
6-12
The following example shows how to place online the paths connected
to the CHA port 0A. In this example, a path whose AutoPATH_ID is
000002 is connected to the target CHA port:
When the confirmation message is displayed, the user enters y to
continue, or n to cancel the operation.
