•

When executing the

installhdlm

utility

# /media/cdrom/HDLM_Linux/installhdlm

The KAPL09093-I message is displayed to confirm that you want to perform an

upgrade installation. Check the HDLM version, and if it is correct, enter

Make sure that HDLM is installed.
Execute the following command to display detailed information about the

installed package.

# rpm -qi HDLM
Name : HDLM
Version :

x.x.x.x.xxx

Release :

HDLM Version

x.x.x.x.xxx

, the installed version of HDLM is correct.

x.x.x.x.xxx

indicates the HDLM version that was installed.

If IP-SAN is used for the connection between the host and the storage system,

change

iscsi_boot=n

, written in the

/etc/opt/DynamicLinkManager/

hdlm.conf

file, to

iscsi_boot=y

When you want to set the HDLM driver options, run the

dlmsetopt

utility for

setting HDLM driver option.
For details on this utility, see

7.6 dlmsetopt Utility for Setting HDLM Driver

Options

If you performed this step, go to step 12.

10. When you want to install HDLM without restarting the host, go to step 11. When

you want to install HDLM with restarting the host, then go to step 12.

11. Execute the

dlmstart

utility for starting HDLM.

For details, see

7.7 dlmstart Utility for Starting HDLM

12. Add

/opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin

in the environment variable

PATH

the environment setup file for the shell used by the root user.
Add the following code to the

PATH

environment variable in the environment
