Managing Paths

You can query, update, and delete paths.

Requesting Information About Paths

By using the QUERY PATH command, you can obtain information about paths. You can request either a standard or a detailed report. This command accepts wildcard characters for both a source name and a destination name. See Administrator's Reference for information about this command and the use of wildcard characters.

For example, to display information about all paths, issue the following command:

query path

The following shows an example of the output from this command.

Updating Paths

You can update an existing path by issuing the UPDATE PATH command. The examples below show how you can use the UPDATE PATH commands for the following path types:

Deleting Paths


Task Required Privilege Class
Delete paths System or unrestricted storage

A path cannot be deleted if the destination is currently in use. Before you can delete a path to a device, you must delete the device.

Delete a path from a NAS data mover NAS1 to the library NASLIB.

delete path nas1 naslib srctype=datamover desttype=library

Attention: If you delete the path to a device or make the path offline, you disable access to that device.
