3.3.1 Setting up an added LU and path as an HDLM management-target

This subsection explains the procedure for setting up an added LU and path as an HDLM management-target.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Setting up an added LU as an HDLM management-target
(2) Checking an added path

(1) Setting up an added LU as an HDLM management-target

When MSCS is not used

  1. Add an LU.
    Some storage subsystems need to be restarted. Follow the manuals for the storage subsystem.

  2. Display Computer Management.

  3. If the LU is not displayed in the Disk Management window, perform the following operations to add the LU as an HDLM management-target.
    • In the Device Manager window of Windows, select Disk drives and then click Scan for hardware changes.
    • In the Disk Management window of Windows, click Rescan Disks.

  4. Use the HDLM GUI to confirm that the PathID has been added.
    Figure 3-1 Using the HDLM GUI to confirm that an LU has been added shows an example of using the HDLM GUI to confirm that an LU has been added.

  5. For the new LU, write a signature, create partitions, and perform formatting.

Note
A PathID is added to a minimum available number in ascending order. Once you delete a path, a different PathID might be assigned when you add a path again. Note that the previous number might not be assigned.

When MSCS is used

  1. Add an LU.

  2. Stop node B.

  3. In node A, perform the steps shown in When MSCS is not used.

  4. Stop node A, and then start node B.

  5. In node B, perform the steps shown in When MSCS is not used.
    When you create a partition, assign the same drive letter as the one assigned for node A in step 3.

  6. Stop node B, and then start node A.

  7. In node A, register the new LU in MSCS, and set it up.

  8. Start node B.

(2) Checking an added path

You can add a path, by inserting a cable into an existing LU, when the host installing HDLM is running.

When you add only a path and do not add an LU, the display of the disk management is not changed.

Figure 3-2 Using the HDLM GUI to confirm that a path has been added shows the example of using the HDLM GUI to confirm that a path has been added.

Note
  • A PathID is added to a minimum available number in ascending order. Once you delete path, a different PathID might be assigned when you add a path again. Note that the previous number might not be assigned.
  • When a path is added to an LU, the following messages might appear:
    - KAPL08019-E and KAPL08022-E
    - KAPL05301-E
    Note that these messages are output by Windows activities, and not by an error.
