• If you use the dlmsetopt utility in an environment where an HDLM device
is used for the boot disk, after changing the settings, you need to re-
create the initial RAM disk image file. To re-create the file, use the dracut
command for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and the dlmmkinitrd
utility for
supporting a boot disk for other OSs. If you change the name of the initial
RAM disk image file, change the settings file for the boot loader so that
the re-created initial RAM disk image file is used during boot-up. For
details on this procedure, see
Table 7-9 Setting file names for boot
loaders on page 7-38.

dlmstart Utility for Starting HDLM
You must perform the following operations after installing HDLM:
•
Load an HDLM alert driver and a filter driver.
• Configure an HDLM device.
• Start the HDLM manager.
The dlmstart utility performs the above operations as a batch operation.
If an HDLM alert driver and a filter driver have already been loaded or the
HDLM manager is already running, the relevant operation is not performed.
