21. Based on the results of step 20, compare the logical device file names
from before and after the HDLM installation, and re-register the correct

procedures listed in Checking the Path Configuration on page 3-139 to check

Performing a New Installation of HDLM (When Solaris Cluster Is
Being Used)
Note
Do not restart any nodes until you have finished installing HDLM on all
nodes.
To perform a new installation of HDLM:
1. When the license key file has been provided, store the license key file
directly under the /var/tmp/ directory by using the hdlm_license name.
/var/tmp/hdlm_license
If the /var/tmp/hdlm_license file does not exist, you will be required to
enter a license key in step 13.
Notes

The license key file can be saved as a user-specified directory or a file

Delete this file manually after installation is completed if it is not
necessary.

Available characters for the absolute path of the license key file are as
follows:
Upper case and lower case characters, numbers, and some special
characters (/, !, #, +, -, ., =, @, _, ~)

Except when performing an unattended installation of HDLM, if a user-
specified license key file is used by entering /var/tmp/hdlm_license,
this license key file is deleted after installation has completed.
